I just wanted to thank the crew that came to our fire house for the stand by on Saturday September 14. With one call ( Car Fire at Dutchway Farm Market) that gave them a little excitement for a short time. This crew was very professional, as well as everyone at Honeybrook Fire Company is I am sure. I know it was a long day for the crew. I just want to thank the crew from myself as well as Christiana Fire Company. See you at the next big call.

Im a volunteer captain in york county and a career firefighter in anne arundel county md. Im trying to obtain information on my late grandfather. He was a member of your department prior to 1973 when he was killed by a drunk driver. His name is Kenneth Ranck Sr. If anyone could help me out I would appreciate it.

My Dad, Raymond is in ECH room 302- had some gall bladder issues and is having it removed today 9/20/12 AM.. For those of you who know him from around the station and fire police duties, feel free to stop and see him. He will be in until this weekend.
Thank you for providing a wonderful experience for our children and their friends on our twins 7th birthday. They all had a terrific time exploring the trucks and going for a ride. All of the firemen were so patient with our questions and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thanks for everything you so for our community!

I wanted to thank you guys for helping my Grandparents who were in the Mountanier on Friday that was broadsided and flipped on its side. I live in Farmington, New Mexico approximately 2,063.7 Miles from their home in Ridley Park, PA, so can't be there to help when things go wrong. I was a Member of the San Juan County Sheriffs Posse out here 5 years ago, so know just how thankless of a job it can be in certain situations. My Grandparents are my world and I miss them dearly. I'm so very, very, gratefull to all of you guys for being there!

Encountering Engine 2.
Me and my crew had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Eggers and his 'just of the boat' engine 2, during our practice evening. As he was trying to find out how to hold water into the pump, I'd tried to help him. The other man were more curious about the sound of the sirens. The electric sirens were quickly found and it was a good thing we were out in the open field. However it seemed they all thought the sounds came out of the federal Q. No-one had seen that knob on the floor,..
There are always things you want to do in life for ones, and this was one of them. Thank you Mr. Eggers and Engine 2 for putting that smile on my face while I was the first to give them a proper American fire-engine concert.
Keep up the good work

Hello, my name is Zach Baker. Im the son of Corey Baker. And though it was over a year ago I want to thank for attending my father funeral. I just came across the post you made and I thank you for honoring him.
Thank you for being firefighters and keeping people safe. I applaud your service to your community. Thank you for all that you do. I'd like to let you know about some special Firefighters tribute pages on my website. I set them up to honor firefighters everywhere. If you get a chance, please check them out. Stay safe and have a great day.
On behalf of the East Brandywine Fire Company. I wanted to take a moment and personally thank the Honey Brook Fire Company and Chief Messner for an outstanding job at the Brandywine Manor House Fire. If it were not for the absolute hard work of all involved to fight the fire and maintain water supply the house and family property would have been lost. Thanks again for a great effort and supporting our company at the fire. Chief 49

Good evening guys and gals. Most of you wouldn't remember me but I was an active member back in the mid 60's and 70's. Kenny Jackson knows me, the Kerns boys know me and PC Witman knows me and if old man Jack Jones is around he knows me.
It was great reading the history of the fire co and seeing my grandfathers name appear as "CHIEF" of the department, William J. Nelms. I remember my aunt telling about him falling in the molasses barell.
I have his gold badge and speaking trumpet that my aunt gave me.
I am now living in Florida and not an active FF anymore but do belong to the Fla. Fire Chiefs Assn. I was an officer in the Five Points FC in Wilmington, De and held all administrative offices and up to Deputy Chief in the fire line. I remember the old REO. We also had an old Seagrave open cab that we got from Coatesville. Anyone remember the old oil tanker we got from Sun Oil. Most of you won't because you were just dreams back then. Take care guys and hopefully I will still be around when you celebrate your 125th Anniversary.

Chief 33, Thank You for sending us an Engine on Sat to our fourth annual Kids Fest. Without your help the festival would not have been a huge success. The Fire Truck rides were Outstanding!!! The long lines to experience the thrill of riding a fire truck was never ending. We heard parents praise the work of your crew with the helping the kids. Our Kids fest was attended by about 1500 kids plus there parents. Let us know if we can help you out in returning the favor. Once again thank you to you and your crew for helping make our Kids Fest a smashing success!! Chief 49
