Thank you Malvern Patch for providing this space. These same sentiments drive me daily in the operation of PaDriverWatch (blog) which is dedicated to those individuals who place themselves at risk on a daily basis to serve their community.

As a community we don't realize how often they are out there.. in the coldness and darkness ...risking not only their safety, but the integrity of their family as well.

These, along with our military personnel are our true heroes....

Well done all. Anyone living in proximity to a firehouse knows how often those sirens go off. We may hear the sirens, see the police car, pull over for the ambulance to pass but those men and women performing the service are on call 24/7/365. Thank you for always being there.

Thanks to all those involved - this could have been disastrous!

Thank you to all of you for handling an incredibly dangerous situation so efficiently. I was kept awake by the series of booms last night and tried to convince myself that a trash can somewhere was falling over. Little did I know what these brave individuals were handling down the road. Thank you again for protecting our residents and particularly our children.

Good Job!!!

Thank you all! I can't imagine what would have happened if these bombs weren't discovered. I would rather be kept up late hearing them being safely detonated than find out what could have happened otherwise. And thank you Patch for keeping us informed. This isn't the first time Patch has eased my fears by keeping us updated minute by minute with an article, updates and comments from the community.

Thanks to all of the emergency responders for keeping us safe and thanks to Malvern Patch for keeping us informed!

Shouldn't storage facilities be required to have a bomb/drug-sniffing dog go through the property regularly?

If it makes sense for the schools, why not for the operators of storage facilities?

Your work is very much appreciated!

Thank you to those who helped keep our community safe from a "nut job"!!
Shame the FBI chose to keep everyone in the dark when a little information about explosions happening for several hours would have reached so many!!

This is to all that were onscene for the 8+ hours. The firefighters from East Whiteland Fire Company, which is the primary responder for that area and was assited by Malvern Fire Company and Goshen Fire Company. Almost all of the firefighter that were onscene are volunteers and are dedicated to protecting the community. The FBI, East Whiteland PD, ATF, County Detectives, Montgomery County Bomb Squad and Philadelphia Bomb Squad and fire/ems emergency responders all worked together, kept each other safe and everyone returned home.

Although I was not in-charge of the incident, I do apologize to the public for the disruption during the night, please understand that it had to be done for everyone's safety.

Thank you to everyone who had a part in Thursday night emergency. It was scary to have your whole house shake and not have a clue to the cause. I Had been told by a friend to get on the computer and check out Malvern Patch when I wanted current information. Thank you Malvern Patch,I am now a regular. You certainly calmed my fears on Thursday night with you on spot comments.

Thank you so much to all those who worked together to keep us safe. I can't even imagine how dangerous it was for you to be so near such powerful devices with no way of knowing how stable they were or what might go off when. If you hadn't been there to do what you did who knows how many lives could have been lost.
You are true heroes!

Thank you for keeping my family and me safe. We really appreciate it!
