Thanks to the Fire Fighter that saved the cat!! You are a hero.

Thank you again to the Officers and Volunteers at Station 49 for yet another great East Brandywine Community Day event.

We love having the Fire Fighters come from East Brandywine Fire Department. Our preschool children love seeing the truck, the firefighters and their favorite friend, Freddie! We are so blessed in this community to have such a kind group of volunteers who not only give of their time in fighting fires, but who give of their time in coming to visit children to help them understand the dangers of fire and what to do in case of an emergency. Another great Fire Prevention week at Hopewell Christian Preschool thanks to all the volunteers.

Another great year with the East Brandywine firefighters coming to our preschool. The children learn to stop, drop and roll if their clothes catch on fire and how to call 9-1-1- in an emergency. The best part is that they get to know and talk to Firefighters who are brave ,friendly,and helpful. This makes such a good impression on children.... They will not soon forget Firefighter Joe, John, Mike Needles or Greg. Maybe one day, they will want to grow up to be a firefighter too.

Members Station 49: Thank you for supporting another great East Brandywine Community Day. Thanks to all the members who take time to help with set up, the race and demonstrations as well as the Fire Works.

I wanted to say congratulations on your recent purchase of the engine and truck. I was browsing your website and saw the story on the apparatus purchase, and noticed the mention of our engine. It makes me proud of our equipment and people knowing that we were able to help you in your design of the engine. I wish you all well with the new apparatus and again Congratulations.

How blessed and lucky we are to have Chief Edwards and his volunteers come to the preschool to talk to our children about Fire Prevention. Every year I watch in gratitude as they teach our little ones to not play with matches, to never hide from a fireman during a fire, and how to "stop, drop and roll" if their clothes catch on fire. Such important things for children to learn. Most of all they get to know a real Fireman and see how friendly the are. And who knows, maybe some day they will grow up to be a Firefighter too.

Thanks to Joe Edwards and his team for another great year of fire prevention assemblies! We appreciate your time and enthusiasm in sharing your important safety message with all of our students. We value your partnership in our school community and are looking forward to attending your Open House!
See you at the BW Fall Festival bonfire!
With much appreciation,

Thanks so much to Joseph Edwards and his staff for our fantastic Fire Prevention assemblies last week at Reeceville Elementary School! The kids had a great time learning about very important safety information, and your dedication to helping others is evident. You are all role models to our children. We really appreciate your kindness and enthusiasm!

Best Regards,
Stephanie Sturdivant, Reeceville Principal

Chief: Thank you and your staff for your participation in another great East Brandywine Community Day Event. The entire day was a huge success, and your support of all of the activities very much appreciated. Great Fireworks.

Many thanks!

Chief Edwards,

I want to personally thank you and your members for going above and beyond to make our guests feel welcome at our first golf outing this past Monday. By having Ladder 49 on-hand displaying the American Flag and changing your sign to greet our attendees were very gracious gestures. If there is ever anything you need in return please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,
Neil

You are an amazing team. Just awesome. Thank you for your service and attentiveness. We will never forget your showing up at just the needed time. Angels in uniform! S & J

Nice website! Thanks for all your service in the Brandywine / PA area. Don't give up!!!!!!!

Although somewhat biased, the new website and member photos look terrific!

I'd like to express my appreciation to the volunteers who turned out for the small house fire we had earlier this week. I was impressed with the level of preparation and dedication I saw from each firefighter I encountered. I was similarly impressed with the leadership, command and control, and frequent updates provided from the Chief. We are very fortunate in this area to have such an effective safety net. I tip my hat to all the men and women that contribute to this effort.
On behalf of the Wilson family, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for protecting our home.

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for all your effrorts on the behalf of West Brandywine Township residents. It is very comforting to know that the residents of West Brandywine Township are being protected by a very professional fire company whose members strive for excellence in their service to the community. I as a Supervisor am very grateful.

I can't say enough about the great job that the Firemen from East Brandywine Fire Department do for us at Hopewell Christian Preschool. Chief John Edwards and his crew were at Hopewell United Methodist Church for TWO DAYS presenting great information at a level that the preschoolers could understand about calling 9-1-1, not playing with matches and STOP, DROP and ROLL. The children especially love going through the big firetruck. Their generosity of time is a real gift to our children and to our community not only during Fire Prevention Month, but all year long.
Thank you to Chief Edwards and all the Firemen for all you do!

Thank you for all that you did out in the woods Oct 9th to rescue my dad. He is making good recovery after a few broken bones but is still looking forward to going back to the hunt.

I'm the wife of the hunter you rescued on Oct. 9, I just wanted to say thank you! My husband is doing as well as expected, he has a broken pelvis, ribs and arm, it could have been much worse. We thank you again!

John Needles suggested I check out the site. Glad I did - nice job!

On behalf of the Board of Park and Recreation, I would like to thank the Officers, Firefighters, EMS Personnel and Volunteers who helped to make the 2014 Community Day a success. Thank you for the assistance with the 5K race and traffic. Thank you for your particpation in the opening ceremony. And most of all, thank you for a realistic and informative demonstation of the accident scene/rescue; it was very well orchestrated.

Thanks again to our volunteers for their dedication and service to the community. Dave Summers

I wanted to take a few minutes and thank your crew for all their help on Friday Aug 15, 2014. I was on my motorcycle and was involved in a bad accident. Your crew was extremely helpful and caring in a bad time for me. I especially wanted to thank Joe Edwards. He was the first on the scene and was a big part of keeping me calm. We found things to keep my spirits up, finding something to keep my mind off what was going on. Although I was found in a bad location, hard to get to, alot of brush in the way, the crew never let that stop them from getting to me and getting me to safety.
Thank you again for everything

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Fire Chief John Edwards and the volunteers of the East Brandywine Fire Company for all their help in addressing my smoke detector problems. Chief Edwards was prompt in responding to my multiple emails and the volunteers were professional, kind, and helpful in addressing my smoke detector problems. Thank you for all that you do for the community.

Fantastic site. Thanks for putting it all together in this format. If ever in New Orleans, stop by the restoration of the 305.

We always love East Brandywine Fire Company! Sharing all about it here: http://www.themomoftheyear.net/2014/03/get-your-groove-on-with-sparky.html#.UyRWx_ldVqk

The children and teachers at Hopewell Christian Preschool are so thankful for the TWO DAYS of FIRE PREVENTION that was provided to us through the firemen at East Brandywine. The children loved going through the fire truck and talking to Freddie at the close of the presentation.

As a Director, I am so thankful for such a nice group of people to show our preschoolers how warm and friendly the firemen are. They truly are heroes to these children and to all of us. One child said to me as he was going back into the building, " I love the firemen, Mrs. Hepner".

God Bless all of you for the time and energy you give to our children and their families.
Donna Hepner
Director of Hopewell Christian Preschool

FANTASTIC chicken barbecue - bi-color corn was sweet and tender, chicken was moist and tasty, pepper slaw was delicious and baked potato was HOT and tasty. It really does not get better than what you did for dinner! THANK YOU for a DELICIOUS dinner in your air conditioned Fire Hall!

Just wanted to extend a HUGE thanks to the EBFC for hosting such a wonderful party for my 4 yr. old son last week! He had the best birthday party, and all the kids had so, so much fun! This is definitely a fantastic party idea for young ones and I can't wait until my daughter is old enough that we can do one for her. THANK YOU, EBFC!

Dear Deputy Chief Whitmer,
It was lovely meeting you and your wife today in line to vote. Being originally from the deep south and rather chatty, I love meeting people and for the past 4 yrs have enjoyed the quality of life here in Downingtown (other than the loss of our 2 yr old to cancer, this place is incredibly family friendly and my other children love living here). I appreciate your dedication to the community. I used to work with adults with chronic mental illness and considered it a vocation and not just a job. Well, I've always admired the mission and spirit of a volunteer fire department. It is inspirational to see the people of east brandywine fire dept. dedicate their lives to their neighbors and that is certainly not merely a job. I was sincere when I said I have looked through my files several times recently to see if I made my yearly donation and just received the pledge letter yesterday in the mail. Something obviously compelled me to act quickly and I'm so glad I did (it was nice to have a guilt free conversation!). May God bless you and your family and everyone at east brandywine fire dept. Sincerely, Dotty Medvitz

Gentlemen, great site!!!
