I would like to thank East Brandywine Fire Company, and especially Dane Edwards, for putting together an entertaining and educational experience for our students. Demonstrations including a car fire and rescue turned theory into reality allowing our students to have a better appreciation for our local volunteer fireman and the work they do. The cookout was great too! Thanks again for taking the time with our students

Thank you to all the firemen who come out to Hopewell Christian Preschool in October. They do such a great job presenting fire safety to our 3, 4, and 5 year olds. The lesson was clear: the Firemen are our friends and they are always there to help keep us safe. We loved having "Freddie" come this year also. Thanks so much for your time...........and for the hats!

Thank you again to Chief Zynn and the Brandywine Fire Co. for all the help you gave us with Kyle Miller's Homecoming. It was such a pleasure to meet you and we look forward to working with you all again! You went above and beyond the call of duty for sure. I know it was a night that Kyle will remember forever!

We just wanted to thank Mark, Joe, Sparky, and the rest of the East Brandywine Fire Company for the wonderful tour of the fire-trucks. My students, who are classified as Autistic, had such a great time. They were engaged and learned alot about fire trucks and fire safety. They really enjoyed Sparky (the 6 foot firefighting dog). We really appreciated you accomodating our last minute request for a visit in honor of our "Heros" week and September 11th. You guys are awesome, Thanks for all the work you do!!!

Thank you EBFC!
I truly appreciate your professionalism and care in responding to my motorcycle crash two years ago. I'll never forget those scary moments on scene and will forever be grateful for your service. I was out of the hospital in one day, off crutches in two...and back on the bike after a month. Not a day goes by that I am not thankful for your response that day.

THANK YOU!

East Brandywine Fire Company ROCKS!! Our son Nate Jr. celebrated his 3rd birthday with family and friends at this firehouse on Saturday August 9, 2008. I cannot say enough about the hospitality and genuine kindness of Joe Edwards and crew (John and Pat to name a few). This two hour event provided fun, education, and an all around great time for children and adults of all ages. The children had the opportunity to explore and ask questions about the fire trucks. Sparky the Dog made an appearance, too, and demonstrated "stop, drop, and roll!" A volunteer fire fighter transformed himself from regular fire fighter to a fire fighter with all of his equipment and mask on to show the youngsters what firemen look like when entering a fire so that the children would not be afraid if (heaven forbid) they were ever trapped in a house and encountered this masked hero. They set up tables with hats and "gift" bags and had the very lovely and talented Andrea available to paint faces and tatoos! We would definitely recommend this type of event and are thrilled that this wonderful fire company opened its doors for a memorable birthday and community event!

Gentleman, I just wanted to extend my most sincere thanks to you for assisting me with finding a date! A nice local 89 year old woman named Delores called me Sunday morning!! We are planning on going to movie night at her care facility this Sunday evening! I am surely going to have you guys come back and cover ASAP....what a huge help you were!

PS- I got in my car on Sunday.....How did you guys know I had a runny nose?

In all seriousness, thank you so much for taking so much time to cover the Square. Hell of a group you have!

Thanks for hosting the MOMS Club Open House last week. Though Anna was too shy to shake "Sparky's" paw, she talked about him for the rest of the day. And needless to say, she loved getting behind the wheel of the big yellow firetruck! Thanks for opening your doors to us once again!

Thank you for hosting so many of us MOMS Club members and our children at your fire house. Since circumstances brought us to you with very little notice we were pleasantly surprised at what a great show you put on for us. We loved climbing all over the fire engines and meeting Sparky.

Thanks also for the fire hat and coloring book souvenirs. My daughter hasn't taken off the hat.

Dear Firefighters:
Just wanted to take a moment to thank you for your informative and fun presentation last month at Olivet United Methodist Church. Days in advance my son continually spoke about 'going to see Sparkie' with much enthusiasm. I'm glad to report that Sparkie exceeded his high expectations. Your presentation had the kids fully engaged and was a huge success.
I must admit that I also really enjoyed the presentation; your team has a very nice way of weaving together important safety messages in a way that's actually a lot of fun.
Thank you for your presentation and for your service to our community.
Ellis

Many thanks to the volunteers of East Brandywine Fire Company for giving of their time to serve the community. Not only do you handle the very serious job of fighting fires and providing emergency services, you spend time educating the community about fire safety in a very informative and fun way - with Sparky. Thanks for coming to Olivet UMC and sharing with all of us.
