On February 26, 1990 a group of 40 Call Volunteer Firefighters representing 14 Southeastern Massachusetts fire department s met in Carver, Massachusetts Carver to discuss the concept of starting a Statewide Call Volunteer Firefighters Association. This meeting was organized by the Carver Firefighters Association and Carver Fire Chief, Dana E. Harriman.

It was unanimously voted to set up a Steering committee Steering Committee to report back to the group with recommendations. On April 23, 1990, the Steering Committee Report was presented and unanimously accepted with a couple of minor modifications. On April 30, 1990, this group met again and decided to do a mailing to survey the cities and towns across the state in an effort to solicit representation that would make this a true Massachusetts Call Volunteer Firefighters Association.
