Perkiomen Township Fire Company was incorporated in 1951 proceeding the discussion of residents in the latter part of 1950. The property that the fire company is presently located on was purchased in 1952. The first apparatus that was purchased by the fire company was a 1934 Ford, which was previously owned by Pioneer Fire Company in Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. Following this purchase, several other preowned apparatus were bought. It was not until 1969 that that the first new piece of equipment was acquired, an American LaFrance Pioneer Pumper. Presently the fire company owns a 1998 HME/4 Guys Pumper-Tanker, 1993 American LaFrance Pumper and a 1995 Quality Pumper. The present building was built in 1955. Renovations and the addition of a five bay engine room was completed in 1997.
