This Monday, Abington Fire Company had the privilege of making William Weir an honorary member and captain of Station 100. He was given during the evening an official certificate of membership, his own gear rack, his own parking spot, and his own themed coloring book.

AFC would like to thank everyone who attended including the other 4 companies of Abington Township Fire Department as well as lamottfire who covered Station 100. We would also like to recognize secondalarmers, who also made William an honorary member that night.

Yesterday, we said goodbye to Squad 100, our 2011 Pierce, as it began its next chapter.

Over the past 15 years, Squad 100 has responded to thousands of calls for service, helping protect the residents a d visitors of Abington Township.

We wish the members of North Berkeley Fire District all the best as they take ownership of Squad 100. We hope it continues to provide many more years of reliable service to the community it will now protect in South Carolina.

Due to the extreme heat and the cancellation of many community events, the Abington Fire Company will be hosting a cooling event at Roychester Park tomorrow from 12 pm to 1 pm. Our firefighters will utilize our hoses and aerial ladders to help cool attendees off. Bring family and friends, wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet, and come beat the heat with us!

Change of plans for tomorrow! Please take a look at the new schedule. We’ll see you all then!

The Greater Glenside Patriotic Association is in a challenging position.

We love our community and realize we must continue the 123-consecutive-year tradition of celebrating America's Independence with a parade.

However, we also understand we need to consider the weather forcasted, and minimize the risks to our Glenside family.

With a focus on celebrating our amazing tradition, and considering safety while doing so, we have decided to provide an alternate parade celebration.

At 6:00 PM:
Starting at The North Penn VFW on Jenkintown Road, fire departments from Abington and Cheltenham will parade to Abington High School.

The route will head down Jenkintown Road, turning left on Abington Avenue, to Abington High School.

Additionally, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM:
Stationed throughout the Abington Middle and Senior High School campuses, as well as Copper Beech campus, the World Championship International and out-of-state bands who have traveled thousands of miles to celebrate with us by marching in our parade will still be a part of our celebration, performing in several locations throughout the campus.

At 9:00: Fireworks as planned!

Unfortunately, we need to officially cancel the Children's Program at Renninger Park for this year.

We want to thank the Abington and Cheltenham Township's Police and Fire Departments, as well as their Emergency Management Divisions for their incredible help and support during this process! They truly are amazing partners in this celebration!

We look forward to continuing the unforgettable tradition of celebrating the 4th of July with you all in Glenside.

*Edit: Our original post stated that the PA Army National Guard’s 28th ID Band would no longer be performing. We are thrilled to say that they will, in fact, be performing for a very appreciative community. The Band will be performing along with other parade bands from 7-9 PM across the Abington school campus (Copper Beech, Middle School, and Senior High).
