Centre Square Fire Department Gets Top Honor

Mon, Mar 5th, 2012

The Centre Square Fire Company was recently named top fire department of the year by the Fifth Fire District. The district includes 20 fire companies and emergency medical organizations in central Montgomery County.

Centre Square responded to 665 calls in 2011 and also wrapped one of its engines in pink to promote the fight against breast cancer. Fifth Fire District President Al Novack told the Ambler Gazette the community relations work by the company was important.

"One thing that stood out was Centre Square was getting a lot of positive publicity from the community about some of the things they were doing, such as this breast cancer awareness program they undertook," Novack told the Gazette.

The Township congratulates the Centre Square Fire Company on the well-deserved recognition.

Wissahickon Students Promote Charities

Wed, Feb 29th, 2012

Four Wissahickon High School sophomores are doing their best to help local charities. The Township appreciates their efforts and wants to pass along their request.

The students, Taylor Oberholtzer, Kelly Christ, Rachel Connolly and Andrew Johnson, wrote to the Township as part of a school outreach project. Taylor and Kelly are encouraging support for Prevent Child Abuse Pennsylvania. The organization's mission is to prevent the abuse and neglect of children. Rachel and Andrew are supporting Erin's Dream, which was started by Erin Curtis, a teacher at the high school after she lost two children to cancer. Erin's Dream is working to restore a centuries-old farmhouse in Schwenksville that can be used by families experiencing a loss.

Mark Your House

Tue, Nov 1st, 2011

The Whitpain Township Police department is asked to respond to all types of emergency calls both day and night, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Our officers strive to provide the quickest response and the best police service possible. However, sometimes the response to a serious situation can be delayed for one simple reason. The person(s) requesting the immediate assistance has failed to post their home or business with the proper street number or address. Valuable time can be lost when the responding officers have to ride around the street playing a guessing game looking for the proper house number.

Whitpain Township does require by ordinance (ORD 118) that homes and businesses post their street number so that it be visible to responding personnel from the street or roadway. In cases of new construction the township will assign a street number when the building permit is issued.

Inexpensive reflective numbers work the best and can be placed on the mailbox or post in from of the house or business.

Please help us help you be sure your address is properly posted now.
