$3,800,000 Fire Station RENOVATION Tour

Welcome to the newly 3.8 million dollar renovated Fire Station 49, of East Brandywine Fire Company! We're proud to showcase their updated facility that blends cutting-edge technology with a nod to their local culture.
Their state-of-the-art station is fully equipped with the latest technology, including energy-efficient lighting, and an integrated communications system with multiple monitors strategically placed throughout the stations, that ensures our firefighters can respond to emergencies quickly and efficiently.
Their renovation was also designed with the latest National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) regulations in mind. From updated electrical systems to modern HVAC units, they made sure their station meets the highest standards of safety and functionality.
They didn't forget about our local culture, either. The design incorporates elements of the community's history, including a large mural that will be placed in the foyer of the Witmer Conference Center depicting the fire department history on display honoring their volunteer firefighters.
They are proud to say that the renovation has vastly improved our workflow in the bays. They added designated spaces for equipment maintenance and cleaning and separate areas for training and meetings. Their firefighters can now move quickly and efficiently from their living quarters to the garage bays, ensuring they are ready to respond to any emergency immediately. In this day and age of working from home, they have created a designated space for those two to work at the station and still respond to the community's needs.
Thank you for joining us on this tour of East Brandywine’s newly renovated fire station. We hope you appreciate the hard work that went into making this facility one of the best in the region.

This is awesome. 70 active members is a miracle in this day and age. I think you have more active in your station then the combined 5 firehouses in my area. Wow

[@chriswilson9230]

The renovation is awesome, you knocked it out of the park. Too many great items to list. I am very impressed. Outstanding job by all. Kudos to the design teams.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks, Mike: This station is incredibly well-designed and highly functional.

[@Ca1vin04]

Make your way up to Mass, the city of Taunton has a couple of the oldest fire stations in the country still in operation! They’re overdue for a new updated central station, which is in the approval stage as we speak

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Send us the invites we are looking to head north this year some time. Either up the east coast or up to the UP of Michigan

Im from the UK so we dont have Volunteer fire depts ..... BUT i came across east brandywine station (as you so often do) on YT when one of thier vids popped up on my recomendations...SO watched a few of thier vids and it peaked my interest and decided to look into them more! .....i OBV did the google maps search and street view came up with the old fire station ...and the last view was just after renovations started ! .. I have A LOT OF RESPECT for fire companies across the US that are just like East Brandywine as a 100% VOLUNTEER fire fighter service where Municipal contributions cover less than half of thier operating cost so depend on donations ect! ... Im so glad they have got this BRAND NEW fire house (and kept it operational to the max during the long renovations which must of been tough as covid ect delayed it all) the old station (looking at pics) was ok and served its purpouse to an extent but did need renovating to a modern standard ect and im SOOOOO glad to see the new station and your walkround of it! (tbh it put me in mind even though its a tv show of the station from 9-1-1 Lonestar! ) .... May Station 49 and the east brandywine fire service continue to serve the community with bravery and distinction! PS im now a subscriber because of this amazing video!

Amazing station. Mix of new and old. Very practical

[@ryanhobbs3362]

Loving the tele-commuting space. I have now passed that idea along to my Chief officers. Nice work.

[@BIGTAYLORNI]

That is an awesome revamped station, I can tell a lot of thought and time that has been put into doing this. Also for the firefighters and staff, shows what the company wants to help the crews relax, develope the skills and knowledge for new and existing members, not only that but to help keep the high levels of firefighters.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thank you very much!

The renovation is AMAZING! Such a beautiful, perfect station. Imo I very much prefer the yellow/green firetrucks. I dunno why, to me it looks better than red.

Please do a video with Redline gear cleaning service. Fire fighter owned and operated and they drive home those life, health, safety concerns you always mention. By the way I appreciate you pointing out the compliance to safety standards because the risk of the job is too high for our heroes to succumb to health issues from lacking support services or basic infrastructure.

Yellow is better than airport green. I know a department that had a chief that had the whole fleet set out and painted green. How the city approved that is beyond me. But the went back to red as new units came on line.

*the station renovation the day after I retire*

[@JonathanSimmons42]

Weird that a fire station of that caliber doesn't have full time paid firefighters. All volunteers is something I've never seen.

[@greyman686]

If they had career firefighters, they probably wouldn't have a station of that caliber since all the money would go to salaries and benefits.

[@lovedfriend2020]

I see two things wrong. Your gym where you said the badge # of the PD is the door code. That seems anyone can know a cops badge # and walk right in. I also saw the handicap bathroom in the bunk room/area but only stares and no elevator? That is odd.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

There are safe guards to not let that happen. And we did not show all the handicap access

[@samuelwatson8043]

16:01 Who's that guy at the door? Is he trying to listen to your conversation 😅

[@irisheyezchesco]

They are a guide for the operator when they are placing the aerial device

[@HeroesNextDoor]

We will talk about those in the station rigs episode next week

[@reybro123]

Great video. There is a security concern I have. At around 18 minutes, John says the keypad code for the gym is the same as police officers' badges. Most police have to give their name and badge # upon request. I would hate to see that taken advantage of.

[@HeroesNextDoor]

Thanks for your insight we will pass that along .

[@malikmoody-rivera7777]

Their is measures in place to ensure that just the badge number alone won’t won’t work

There is no taxes they took out loans and saved.

Boo hoo.

[@mastermack01]

Stop shoving NFPA regulations down people's throats. If members clean their gear regularly, they can put it anywhere they want

[@HeroesNextDoor]

NFPA is the standard to which most insurance company hold. So if there is a death whether on the job or off it would be easier to get the benefits you deserve for serving the community

[@samwalker8893]

They can do, if they are selfish clubbers who give zero crap about their health, their mates, their crews, their colleagues….. Those regulations are exactly that: regulations… not advice.. they are there for a specific purpose.. but hey… sod it. Just cos you want a political argument over been “forced” to give a damn about anyone but yourself

[@Steve-cu1ye]

This is a waste of taxpayers money

Why ? It excellent use !
