Cheltenham township ems1/28/2024 So who was Don Drobil? He was a loving husband to his wife Amy. Someone much wiser told me, the job is what you do, it is not who you are. Great career accomplishments to be sure, but they do not tell half the story. He was a decorated SWAT Operator with numerous high risk operations on his resume. He was an accomplished Instructor, with numerous certifications including Firearms and Less Lethal. He was a Field Training Officer, mentoring numerous Officers. He was a Patrol Officer, eventually rising to the rank of Patrol Sergeant. Don Drobil had many in his time with the Cheltenham Police Department. The most common way is to list their accomplishments. Several major roads pass through our district including Easton Road, Cheltenham Avenue, and the Route 309 Expressway.When someone dies, how do you properly sum up their life? How do you put down in a couple of paragraphs all of their accomplishments? How do you explain to people who did not know them who they were, the impact they had, and how much they will be missed? We share our borders with the City of Philadelphia, Springfield Township, Abington Township, Jenkintown Borough and other Cheltenham fire companies’ districts. The majority of our district is occupied by residential dwellings ranging from over 100 year old mansions designed by famed architect, Horace Trumbauer, to small sections of row houses. Our district includes Arcadia University, several substantial apartment complexes and geriatric care facilities, commercial and light industrial structures and a handful of schools. Our dedicated Firefighters and Board of Directors have been providing this service to the community since May of 1900. Glenside Fire Company is a 100% volunteer organization providing fire/rescue services for the communities of Glenside, Wyncote, and Laverock within Cheltenham Township, and many other communities through mutual aid relationships.
