We have a long over due thank you to Chief Joe. We had a wonderful 4th birthday party for our twins at the end of October. Joe and his crew went above and beyond what we expected. Our party was the weekend of the great October snow and we were so worried that we were going to have to tell our kids it was canceled but with Joe's help it went off without a hitch. Everyone had a blast. Our kids constantly talk about it and can't wait to have another party there. We would hands down recommend having a party at this wonderful fire house. We feel privileged to live in an area with such an amazing, caring group of people. From the bottom of all our hearts thank you!!! Chief Joe you are the best!
Thanks again,
Bob, Rachel, Marina, Luca and Cecilia Massaro

to the volunteers at ebfc #49:
it was my pleasure and honor to volunteer at the registration desk this year and to do a "very" little part of what you all do for the community and especially for the "kids" at kids fest.
it was so well planned and organized. all the small and big kids were having a great time!! lots of smiles and laughter.
it was so heartwarming to see all the volunteers from surrounding fire companies volunteer their time too.
you are all to be commended for a "job well done" again this year and i was proud to be a part of it! :)
Thank you all for your hard work in making the Kids Festival so wonderful. This was our first experience at the Festival and we are so happy we could be a part of it. We had a great time and will definitely be back next year. I always marvel at the great work and commitment you all have to your volunteer work.
Continued best wishes and safety. Thank you again and God Bless you all!!

Dear Chief Edwards & Crew --
Thanks for making the birthday part for our sons -- Jack and Chase -- so great! The kids had a blast, loved Sparky and Freddie, and thought is was really cool to be in the garage along side of the firetruck and gear.
We'll be back next year and highly recomend to anyone thinking of place to have a party for their kids!

Dear John, Joe and all of the volunteers at East Brandywine Fire Company,
I want to thank all of you for the help and support you provided for the birthday party we had there this weekend. You were all willing to do anything we needed in the weeks prior to the event and again the night of the party. All of the guys were very polite and helpful .
We were very impressed by the cleanliness and excellent condition of the whole building. It is obvious that the volunteers put a lot of time and effort into keeping the facility in wonderful shape.
Thanks, again for all that you did. I would not hesitate to host an event there again in the future.

Dear Fire fighter Joe, Freddy and friends,
Thank you for coming and sharing with our students for Community Helper Day! You were the most exciting visitors of the day. We appreciate your time and your thoughts as you educated our children in a friendly, child like way. I believed the children learned a lot about fire safety and not to fear a firefighter in uniform. Many children are still talking about their visit with Freddy. We hope that you will be able to join us again. Many thanks and God bless you.
Sincerely,
Deb Martinez

How do you thank 2 people who already give so much of themselves to protect the community and keep us safe from harm? Marc, Joe and "Freddie" freely gave up time with their families on a cold Saturday afternoon to educate and entertain a group of excited 3 and 4 year old children at my son's birthday party. "Freddie" was a huge hit and a terrific way to grab the attention of the children and stress the importance of fire safety. Words alone will never be able to express how grateful we are to Marc and Joe as well as the entire group of firefighters. Thank you for your dedication and service.

Just want to thank you for the spectacular visit we had at Station 49. I really enjoyed the information we were given about the station and equipment. Of course I enjoyed Freddie, he gives me so many laughs and he seems to do so much good when you are teaching children. Your ladies did a great job helping to give us a wonderful lunch and I never had so much fun playing Bingo. I have been talking it up to all of our residents hoping they will get on the ball and make a contribution to a worthy and deserving cause. Most said they would come the next time. THANKS AGAIN, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND KEEP SAFE.

Hello, I just wanted to say I think your Annual Fund Drive "letter" was genius. Loved the bullet points. I actually did read it and I'm sending money. Smart move -- easy to read layout and right to the point content.
I feel like a jerk for not sending money in the past. I thought the most effective comment was that only 1/3 of residents give money. Like I said, that made me feel bad. Anyway, the check is in the mail! (and I'm not just saying that, it really is)
Thank you for all you do and, again, loved the request for $$ letter. Very effective!! Great job!! to whoever came up with it.

On behalf of the whole Kilgarif Family, we wanted to thank you guys for everything you did for our Fundraiser to help support "Operation Military Christmas Package". As always you guys went above and beyond your call of duty as Vol. Fire Fighters, and the things you do for and around the community are matched by non-other. With having the Ladder out front proudly flying the American Flag to having Freddie become the "MC" of the actually head shaving, we couldn't of asked for more. Thank you guys so very much for helping us with this Community Event.
