Be careful while boating on Lake Norman. The projected rainfall tomorrow is over an inch. This will only make the situation on Lake Norman worse. #LakeNorman #FireBoat4The frequent heavy rains we’ve received lately have caused the Catawba River Basin to rise rapidly which is the primary inflow source of the Lookout Reservoir as well as Lake Norman.

Recently, Lake Lookout’s water level has reached 103.5 feet. 3.5 feet of overflow goes over the dams spillway and flows into Lake Norman bringing with it large items of debris.

Areas on the Northern end of Lake Norman, especially north of the North Carolina Highway 150 Bridge, have large debris such as large parts of trees floating in them which could make travel on the water hazardous. With more rain in the upcoming forecast, the conditions are unlikely to improve in the near future.

Please use extreme caution if you must travel on either Lake Norman or Lake Lookout. ... See MoreSee Less

At 11:57 today Cornelius and Huntersville were alerted to respond to Madison Village Dr for a house on fire. Companies arrived and found a garage on fire that had extended into the home. Due to the large volume of fire and the risk of exposures becoming involved additional help was requested. In total 5 lines were operated off E2. H&L44 found some creative parking which put them in an effective position to get to work. The home suffered significant damage but due to the aggressive actions of members on scene many items were able to be salvaged.

Thanks to Huntersville Fire Department, Mount Mourne Fire Dept, Davidson Fire Department, and the Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal. ... See MoreSee Less
