*the parade is going on as scheduled*
Due to the early start time of our parade we are going on a scheduled
Parade will kick off at 9:30am and return to town square about 10. Ulster pipe band will play in the square and we will drop candy for the kids and serve hot dogs and drinks.
Join us if you can for a quick patriotic event.

The Jenkintown Volunteer Fire Department is once again proud to sponsor the Borough’s Annual 4th of July Celebration. This year’s parade will be on Saturday, July 4th, at 9:30 A.M. with a rain date of Sunday, July 5th, at 9:30 A.M.

The Celebration will once again feature a Parade of our local fire trucks, Color Guard, bands and decorated bikes for children. In addition, various community service groups including The Boy/Girl Scouts and J.Y.A. will also be in attendance. Being a safety-oriented organization, we would ask that any child riding a bike through the parade route that is under the age of 12 wear a bike helmet. At the conclusion of the parade, we will award prizes in the Town Square for the Best Decorated Bikes. This year’s awards will be divided into three (3) categories, Strollers & Wagons, Tricycles and Bikes.

This year’s Parade Route will begin on Leedom Street and Greenwood Avenue. It will proceed North on Leedom Street to Hillside Avenue, West on Hillside Avenue to Walnut Street, South on Walnut Street to West Avenue and commence at the Town Square on Leedom Street. We will be serving hot dogs and cold beverages at the Pioneer Fire Company at the conclusion of the parade.

Sincerely,

THE JENKINTOWN VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

Please join all of your friends, family and neighbors for this exciting family oriented event!

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.
