On November 14, 1913 the record book begins, "Twenty-seven men interested in the welfare of Horsham and the surrounding country met in Benjamin Webster's barn" with Ervin Ambler and George Dungan, who were the Chief and the Assistant Chief of the Enterprise Fire Company of Hatboro. The object was to lay the foundation for forming the Horsham Fire Company and elect its first officers.

On December 2, 1913, the first piece of firefighting apparatus, a large hand pump on loan from the Enterprise Fire Company, was housed by the Company and a steel locomotive tire was hung up to serve as a fire alarm. By June 1, 1914, our first "Fire Wagon" was delivered and readied for use. The cost was $272.12. Since such an expensive piece of equipment containing "...the latest firefighting devices" could not be stored outside, Benjamin Webster's shed became the first firehouse.

The Horsham Fire Company Ambulance Corps Division has been serving the residents of Horsham Township and surrounding communities for over 50 years. We respond to over 1,400 ambulance and 30 rescue calls per year. This is done with a combination of volunteer & career staff of over 35 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMT's), Paramedics and rescue workers. Unfortunately, our volunteer staff is dwindling. We are finding it difficult to staff our ambulance with volunteers to answer the rising needs of the community.
