Hi West Grove fire fighters,
I wish you a happy holiday. I'm a German fire fighter and visit West Grove two times a year. Maybe I will visit your department at our next trip to my parents in law.
Take care and merry Christmas

Thanks to all the brave men and women for dedicating their time and risking their lives to keep us safe! I would like to see Bingo brought back to the West Grove Fire Co, as it was many years ago. It is a great way to raise money and community awareness of all that you do. We miss it!

I just wanted to say how sad I am about Mike Predmore's passing. He always had a smile on his face when I saw him and always was a dedicated and involved member. The world is a sadder place without him. My condolences to his family, friends and fellow Fire Company members.
Just wanted to drop a note of thanks for covering us during the services for Firefighter Brown. Having you guys there made the day go a lot easier and I appreciate all the help. If you guys ever need anything please feel free to call us.
Thanks again, Todd

TO ALL OF YOU
Those responders on July 15, 2012 to our garage fire and to the rest who have responded so many times wherever you are needed.
If it weren’t for you we probably would have lost not only our garage, studio and most contents but our home and everything we own.
It is without hesitation that you put yourselves in danger to protect us and all we have worked for and it is greatly appreciated.
As we are not sure as to which ones, please extend our heartfelt thanks to all other Fire Companies that responded to our situation.
Thank you for all of it.

Just went through Brigade 1 training at DSFS for my company. At 50yrs young it was very challenging. It gave me a greater prospective and respect of the job our volunteers do for our communities. You folks rock!!!!! Stay safe and God bless!!!!
A great big thank you to all the members of the West Grove Fire Company for their enthusiastic participation and guidance in Assumption BVM School's Egg Drop! A good time was had by all and it was a pure pleasure to meet the brave members of the fire company that volunteer and take the time to reach out to our local community. We were in the presence of true heroes!
Thank you for all you do!
God bless!

I thanked you once in 2007. On 7/1/2007 you responded to a head on collision involving Jonathan Berardino and Linsay Belano. You did a fantastic job. They got their first helicopter ride that day to Christiana Hospital. Each sustained serious injuries that day but have recovered do to your dillegence that day. Well they just got married. Jonathan is working on his Phd at Drexel and Lindsay is a veternarian. I have been a police officer for almost 30 years and never appreciated the value of my public safety counterparts till that day. Thank you for all you do each day.
Hello, folks. Wonderful web site. I particularly liked the ICE advice for cell phones. Congratulations on Rescue 22, but I hope it has a foam eductor, not an inductor. An inductor is an electrical component. Best regards to all.
Good job to the West Grove Fire Company for maintaining an operating house siren for the safety of the community. We are fortunate to have a community who appreciates our house siren; and since only one person seems to be complaining, you must as well.

Another job well done by station 22. I just wanted to take a moment and thank Andy Vattilano and Larry Hicks for taking the time to install a carbon monoxide detector at my moms house. She was so tickled that you guys took the time to show her how it works and installing it for her. Also would like to thank you for the scholarship that is awarded every year in my father's name. Sure does make me very proud!! Thanks again.

Dear Friends -
(This is an awesome website!)
THANKS so very much to Lisa Glass for coming to our Center during Fire Safety Week! Three visits!!!! Our preschoolers and kindergartners really enjoyed your presentation and the opportunity to be in and around the fire truck! You know just how to take away apprehension and fear for our young ones!
Thanks, too, for providing Fire Satety Training for our staff! We are more aware and more prepared because of the time you spent with us!
THANK YOU!!!! WE APPRECIATE YOU!!!!
I just viewed the photo report of WGFC's participation in the Hazardous Incident Drill with Aetna Hose Hook & Ladder in Newark on 7/13. Thanks for sharing this excellent report which gives a wonderful overview of your approach to emergencies requiring triage. You have a really useful and informative website. Thank you for your community service.
Dear Firefighters.
I want to thank you for your response to my car fire this past Thursday on old Baltimore Pike It was a fast response and everyone did a professional job. Even though my car was totaled, I am very thankful that no one was hurt. You can replace a car. I also want to thank my guardian angel, Captain Galloway, he spotted my car with flames shooting from underneath my car and pulled me over. I know he was a special messenger from God that day. Who knows if I'd be alive today if it wasn't for him. I will always remember him and his kindness toward me. West Grove is a wonderful place to live and we are very lucky to have such caring and giving people who are in our fire department and police. Thanks again and God Bless you. Jane Hall
