Dear Fireman and Firehouse Team,

We cannot thank you enough for hosting our son's birthday party at your firehouse. It was truly a memorable experience for all of us, and we appreciate the time and effort you put into making it such a special celebration.

The kids had a blast exploring the fire trucks, trying on the hose, and learning about fire safety. Your team was so patient and engaging with the children, and they all left with big smiles on their faces.

We are grateful for the invaluable service that you provide to our community every day, and we feel lucky to have had the opportunity to share in your world for a few hours. Thank you for your kindness and generosity in making our son's birthday one that he will never forget.

Sincerely,

Mimi & John Struthers

Last evening I was watching the 10 o'clock news on the Portland, OR FOX channel and they featured the Christmas tree burning at St. Christopher's and GFC was on display. The yellow engine was in the background and several of the crew in their 'turn outs' were shown providing support. It was a 'blast from the past' for a former member from the fifties and sixties. You are recognized all over. Keep up the good work. Ed

Gentlemen of Gladwyne Fire Company;

That was an outstanding Wreath Ceremony honoring my husband at this Christmas time. He loved Christmas especially the tree sales and the Santa Claus run. Everything about the memoriam gathering was perfect - the buffet, walking to the grave site, the truck and lights, the gorgeous wreath and especially the prayers by the minister, and the kind words and
remembrances of the fire company members.

My husband would have been very appreciative of everything as he loved the Gladwyne Fire company Dearly!

Thanks again for every thoughtful effort to make the wreath ceremony memorable!!
Love,
Linda Culbertson

I enjoyed your YouTube Video which took me back to my time working Car 16 for LMPD. I still hold a book in my Library titled, Volunteer Fire Company: Past and Present [Hardcover – March, 1979] by Ernest Earnest a member of the Gladwyne Fire Company and Professor at Temple University (if I recall correctly). Prejudiced as I am in favor of public seirvice through the volunteer fire service, I credit my own interests and education to the more senior members of the Weldon Fire Company in another part of Montgomery County. Gladwyne, along with all of America's Volunteer Fire Companies, deserve a lot of credit for bringing communities together and helping to create a sense of duty in many young members who take their lessons in purpose, process and safety protocols to so many other engagements in their lives. Thanks for all you do to bring people into the fold. Best, Bob Lee

Years before I joined Buhl, they had bought a truck from your department. I have seen a couple of hoses and nozzles with the name Gladwyne from that truck and was curious about your department. Great website.

All dogs go to heaven especially Lucky... Anytime our company would stop by or just make a random visit he knew who his fellow community Firefighters were and would always meet you in the engine room or on the apron with tongue out and tail wagging like crazy ready to greet you!!! R.I.P. Lucky.... You were one of a kind!!!

Fantastic website. Beautifully done. I lived on Conshohocken State Road many years ago and remember the Fire Chief at that time drove a Mercedes with a red light on the front of it.
The best to all my Gladwyne brothers. Stay safe out there.

Chief thank you very much for the kind acknowledgement. I apologize for not being able to personally attend the training. I would have enjoyed meeting the members of your department. Maybe we can get together for a Softball game when the weather warms up. We play in a "member only" league slow pitch and are not very good so don't send the ringers....Jeff Cruciani

I was a member of the Gladwyne Fire Department in the early 60's and have been a volunteer ever since. I was 16 yrs old, and served for 4 years, before going to college in N.J. I have fond memories of the men, the softball games, parades, the sale of Christmas trees, and the experience of serving as a Houseman for three years in the summer filling in for the regular paid men who had that responsibility. I loved those years and the Department. Keep up the good work, DudleyField

I have a lot of family history with the Gladwyne Fire Company. The actual firehouse is located next door to where my grandparents lived on State Road. My cousin Jack Anderson is a houseman currently serving the Gladwyne community. My grandfather John E. Baltz Sr. was an active member for many, many years. We used to sit in my grandparents living room window and watch the firemen sell Christmas trees during the season.It was always great joy on Christmas Eve to stand out front of my grandparents house waiting for Santa to drive by on the firetruck and get my orange or apple. Such wonderful memories of this great organization.
