Happy New Year! While you were celebrating or sleeping on this first day of 2026, La Mott was busy with two major incidents.
At 3:55AM this morning the Fire Company was dispatched to a car fire on Chelten Hills Drive near Church Road. Within one minute the call was upgraded to a building fire as the car (which was on fire) had crashed into a home on Chelten Hills drive, causing the house to catch fire. Fortunately there were no injuries.
At 7:55 while still in the station cleaning equipment from the previous call, the fire company was dispatched to a vehicle rescue with entrapment on Church Road at Pardee Lane, the car was reported to be on it side. With the assistance of the Weldon and Cheltenham fire companies the driver was extracted from the vehicle with apparent minor injuries.

We would like to thank all of our mutual aide fire companies from Cheltenham, Abington, Springfield and Jenkintown, and Rockledge. We would also like to thank Cheltenham EMS, Cheltenham Police Department, Cheltenham Public Works and the multiple Fire Marshals offices.

The Jenkintown Fire Department offers our sincere condolences to the family, friends and colleagues on the passing of Fire Marshal John Rohrer. He assisted Jenkintown on countless occasions and was always quick to offer a helping hand or his support. He was a true professional and will be greatly missed on and off the fire ground. Rest easy Chief.
