| The East Brandywine Fire Company (Station 49) and the Glen Moore Fire Company(Station 48) are entering into a Strategic Partnership that is focused on improving the Quality of Fire, Rescue, and EMS delivery to the communities that we serve.
These include East Brandywine, Wallace, West Brandywine, Upper Uwchlan, West Nantmeal, and East Nantmeal Townships. As part of this Partnership, both entities will begin running emergency calls together and training on a formalized basis. Prior to this announcement, the companies have been working together on a less formalized basis.
Some benefits of this new partnership will be increased personnel and apparatus responding on emergency calls, shorter response times, higher quality training programs, volume purchasing, and more uniformity and collaboration between the two organizations.
Both organizations will maintain their own budgets, corporate officers, and line officers.
Dual memberships will be made available to those individuals that would like to respond to calls from both stations.
East Brandywine Fire Company operates out of one station at 2096 Bondsville Road in Guthriesville and has a Engine, Tanker, Ladder, Brush, Utility, QRS Unit, Fire Police Unit, and Duty Chief vehicle.
Glen Moore Fire Company also operates out of one station at 578 Fairview Road in Glenmoore and has a Engine, Pumper-Tanker, Rescue Unit, TAC Unit, QRS Unit, Haz-Mat Containment Unit, and Duty Chief vehicle.
Both companies recently have signed purchase agreements for similar Seagrave Pumper-Tankers that each will carry 2500 gallons of water to replace their aging tanker trucks.
A joint Quality of Service Committee has been created to oversee the venture and provide benchmarks and goals for the collaborative effort between the two organizations. |
