Very sorry to hear about the loose of your station. In 2004 before I joined the department I currently work with we had a fire which originated from one of our ambulances. Now 6 years later our department has grown and has come closer together not only as a department but as a family. I hope that your department comes back just as strong and hard it will take time but it will get there.

I want to send out my prayers to all our members and paid personel that worked so hard to save the firehouse. The command did an EXCELLENT JOB as well as the many many fire fighters that helped!!! I am so thankful that everyone is ok. All that I can say is "That which does not kill us will only make us stronger"
We are all family and with the love and support we can overcome and still provide the EXCELLENT SERVICE that you all do everyday!!!!!
I am proud to say that I am related to someone that is a part of this great service to the community.

My husband and I were awakened by the scanner yesterday morning, February 11, 2010, only to learn that your beloved firehouse/community hall was burning. I have enjoyed many happy hours dancing in the community hall, helped a dear friend of mine with a fund raiser when her brother was dying of cancer, and had your courageous members come to my rescue to assist with our Gamber VFD years ago when we suffered a chimney fire in the dead of winter. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your courageous members. We know it will be hard, but, together, we will get through this too.

God be with you as you rebuild your facility.

We were devastated to hear about the firehouse and so grateful that no one was hurt. Our family is at the fire house at least a couple of times a year for various events you sponsor. You've answered a call to our home and my parents home. Our son has a life threatening allergy that requires immediate medical attention if he has a reaction. You've walked him through the ambulance so he knows what it's like. You've reassured him that you have everything he needs in case you have to get him to the hospital. You do so much for our community. When you are able to, please let the community know how we can help and suport you as you rebuild.
Many, many thanks and God Bless.

I would just like to say that I know some of the firefighters from this company and I am very sorry for your loss and I know in time that your place will be built up and back in working order,

I am part of the Automobile License Plate Collectors Assn who held a swap meet in your banquet hall this past August. My best wishes go out to all of you as you recover from the fire. Please stay safe, and thank you for everything you do!

Thoughts and prayers with you guys as you face a very hard time. Know that this was the hardest fire you've had to fight. Love to the Ladies Auxillary though all this! The girls and I have spent many an hour in that social hall with Grandma and the rest of the Rosiers!

Glad no one was hurt when your Community Building was destroyed. If there is an up side to this, now you can change things around and do changes to your building to better serve the community and amke things easier while fund raising. Best of luck for your brothers to the West.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss this morning. Thankfully no one was injured. I know this must be hard on all of you but we can rebuild, we cannot replace the fine men and women who work at the station who serve and protect your community. My prayers are with you as a fellow EMT.

I'm so deeply saddened by the fires that hit your fine facility after the big snow. If you all need anything, please let me know. Chuck

Brothers and sisters keep your head up high and just remember you have each other and all of us that support you. Keep each other going and you can always rebuild. No one lost a life and thats the biggest plus. Be safe and you all are in my prayers.

I'm sorry for the tragedy that came upon the Sykesville/Freedom District Fire Department today. It was my privilege to be able to travel from Annapolis to come out today to meet with Chief Ruch, President Shiloh and Vice President Kreimer. It was amazing to see how the fire fighters from around the region came and assisted in bringing the fire under control. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

MY PRAYERS GO OUT TO YOU ALL. MY FAMILY (ROSIERS/GARVERS) ARE ACTIVE MEMBERS. I WAS DEEPLY CRUSHED TO HEAR THIS NEWS. GOD HAS A PLAN FOR EVERYTHING. SOMEWHERE IN THE MESS OF ALL THIS WILL BE A GOOD THING TO COME. JUST TRUST IN GOD AND WATCH HIM WORK IN THIS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Your services have been invaluable through the years. Our prayers and support are with you and your crew during this tough time.

So sorry to hear about your devastating loss this morning. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and the community as you start to rebuild.

Brothers I am so sorry for you'r loss. Hold your heads high for you are fire fighters and you will overcome and accomplish. If I lived there I wouild vol my time to help you rebuild.

Thoughts from Washington County are with you all! Listening to the call I could tell it was not good. Glad to hear no one was injured! You are all in our thoughts and prayers!

Just read about the station collapse. Having grown up in Sykesville/Eldersburg, I wanted to pass along my best thoughts and well wishes to your team. You've been there many times throughout my childhood. I wish there was something more I could give back in your time of need. If anyone can overcome this, it's you folks. Take care and be safe.

So sorry for the loss your company experienced this morning.
