Annual aerial and ground ladder testing took place today for the entire fleet. @seagravefireapparatusfwd #truetruck #groundladders #tractordrawnaerial
Always training even in the rain and fog🤩
Hey - can I borrow your ladder to trim my small pin oak in Cornelius? wink wink <3 🙂
This afternoon Cornelius was dispatched to an outside fire off of Carrington Club Dr. While enroute there was a large amount of smoke in the area and there were reports that there was landscaping and a roofing structure involved. The call was upgraded to a structure fire adding H&L44, Davidson Engine 1 and Huntersville Engine 2. Upon arrival a trash can, grill, landscaping area and a pergola were found to be on fire. Engine 2 quickly extinguished the fire and cancelled everyone but H&L44. #CORNTOWN @ Cornelius, North Carolina
Very professional job of total control of a incident. Everyone back to the house safe and sound.
So professional and responsive!
Station 2 spent some time on fire boat 4 reviewing charts, radar operation and cold weather rescue SOPs. #corntown @ Peninsula Yacht Club
Need Peter Blaich to get me on that boat!
Winter weather update for our area from NC Emergency Management. Travel could be hazardous starting this afternoon and into tomorrow.
Last night Cornelius Engine 2 and Rescue 4 responded to I77 southbound to a report of two tractor trailers involved in an accident. Upon arrival Cornelius firemen found heavy damage to one tractor trailer off the roadway. The driver had self extricated himself and was transported by Medic with non-life threatening injuries.
I think I drove through the aftermath on my way into work this morning...glad the driver was ok!!

Cornelius Firefighter Matt Bixler Sr. is also a Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal. He partnered with Charlotte Fire Inspector Rick Rolla and the two worked together to produce this video about fire safety in schools. If you are a teacher, student or parent of a child in school watch this video and share Matt’s fire safety message.
Super! Thanks Matt and Rick.
Thanks for sharing this! I appreciate the support.
Great job Matt Bixler Sr.!
Good job.
The drill for the month of February is Forcible entry. Cornelius Fireman are drilling on inward and outward swinging door FE as well as thru the lock for non destructive entry means. So far we’ve forced approximately 240 doors and still have several days to go! Ps: if you drive by and see smoke coming from the firehouse, it’s fake smoke for training. @ Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue
Glad you found your heroes!

PSA: when piling your leaves at the curb for pick up please avoid covering fire hydrants. In the middle of the night this can become almost impossible to see. Thank you for your cooperation.
Yes this is townhomes and the owners have zero say in who the HOA hires or when to expect services to be scheduled
I don't get these HOA paid blowers who blow everyone's leaves in the street...then just leave them there. I've driven down the same street for a wk. Leaves still there. Except when it is really windy, and some of those leaves are right back in homeowners' yards.
The landscapers have been doing it and just leaving them there. Its horrible!
Great reminder. Sometimes you don’t think about that.
Common sense is a flower that doesn't grow in everyone's garden.

If this is by the town homes then landmark did it and will suck them up today...supposedly
So think about this. Your tax dollars pay for the leaf vacuuming service. If you hire a landscaper, your service fee typically includes hauling debris away (like when they prune trees/shrubs). So if your landscape service is not taking the leaves away, you’re in essence paying twice. Talk to your landscapers to understand exactly what you’re paying for.
Today Hook & Ladder 44 had the opportunity to drill on commercial roof operations. Thanks To the Huntersville Fire Dept. for the invite!
Love it! As always, y'all keep up the great work and stay safe out there.
Seagrave tiller and a Seagrave Aerialscope..... beautiful!
Team work. That’s what it’s all about.
Today the duty crew was treated to a meal prepared for them by our wonderful neighbors in Antiquity. Such an awesome gesture to have a great meal prepared for these members while they’re away from their families. We would like to thank the Thomas family for heading this up!
The following families from Antiquity contributed to make this day special.
Shari Harrison, Barry Ryalls, Chad Huck, Stacy Haponik, Lisa Sharp, Janice Belter, Jane Laurencelle, Sally Cleveland, Kristen & Chris Senvisky, Carrie Cardwell, Suzanne Brickley, Susan Bumgarner, Amy Duncan, Pam Lilley, Megan Kemp, Tom Gregory, Lauren Blackley, and maybe more!
Fantastic- THE CORNELIUS WAY! Happy Thanksgiving to all! Thank you Antiquity!!
Awesome! Happy Thanksgiving!🦃
Such wonderful neighbors
We are so blessed to call Cornelius home!!
Happy to be a part of it all....
Thank you all for your service to our community! It’s greatly appreciated. ❤️
