I have a few guys that’s asked me that’s a certified ff if y’all will hire someone without EMT and send them to get it
So will the full timers be officers of the part timers or drivers (to start)? I wish I could be part of the team.
Great work
Thank you folks.. for protecting us. We are blessed to have friends who are dedicated to this cause. We appreciate it!
Pictured in the bottom right corner is retired FDNY Captain Peter Blaich at today’s 9/11 Remembrance Vigil. Peter was assigned to Engine 9 on September 11th and was one of the first responding Engine Companies to the North Tower of the World Trade Center. He was operating in Stairwell B of the North Tower when the South Tower collapsed. Peter survived the collapse of the North tower moments later and operated at the ground zero for many weeks afterwards. After retiring Peter moved to Cornelius and became a Cornelius firefighter. Every year Peter leads our 9/11 Remembrance Vigil at the Memorial in front of Station 1. Today were we joined by other retired FDNY & NYPD members to remember the events of September 11th. We are extremely thankful to have Pete as a member of our department and honored to have him and the other retired Firefighters, EMT’s and Police Officers with us today. A special thanks to the Town of Cornelius, Cornelius PD, the Mecklenburg County FMO and the Patriot Guard for their assistance today. NEVER FORGET!!!

As a 9-11 responder that day I would just like to thank the Chiefs, Barbee and Bridges (sorry to all for any spelling mistakes and if I missed the other chief) MC Peter Blaich (himself a 9-11 first responder) RIcki Overcash for his tireless effort that went into the creation of this memorial, the Cornelius PD, the Patriot guard riders and the community members who showed up in this crazy times. Mel I can't forget you for making me a part of the crowd. thank you all for the hard work and great day, it lifts me up. To the Patrons of Jacks and the employees, thank you for put up with me at 3:43 pm, when I asked for the prayers and the moment of silence for the 2997 people who never returned home that day. (sorry if I missed anyone, it was a long but nice day to see the Cornelius Lemley FD and community do not forget 9-11

Cornelius Lemley Fire & Rescue Annual 9/11 Remembrance Vigil
On Friday, September 11, 2020, Cornelius-Lemly Fire & Rescue will conduct their annual 9/11 Remembrance Vigil.
Due to the Governor's orders and Town of Cornelius COVID-19 policies, the in-person ceremony will be private this year. The media and general public are invited to watch the ceremony live on the Town's Facebook and YouTube accounts, as well as the Fire Department's Facebook page. A recording of the ceremony will be accessible via Facebook following the event.
Following the ceremony, the community is encouraged to visit the Cornelius Never Forget 9/11 Monument at their leisure throughout the weekend to quietly reflect and remember. The monument is located at Fire Station No. 1, 19729 S. Main Street. Please remember to wear face coverings and practice social distancing.
During the private ceremony, members of the Cornelius Fire Department will toll a bell marking the key moments of the day.
The schedule is as follows:

I am very disappointed that this solemn ceremony will not be open to the public this year. It is possible to be outside and observe social distancing responsibly. NEVER FORGET
Disappointed to say the very least. If we can shop at stores in Cornelius, we certainly can stand six ft apart at a ceremony (with masks) It seems some people do not stand by the “NEVER FORGET”. I was there and will NEVER FORGET. And public can show up during the day . Explain the difference if 30 or so people show up at the same time ? Stay safe Brothers.
I remember being at the 1 House that day and the several days after with Jamey Bumgarner Guerry Barbee Jeremy Bumgarner Kevin Fox Robert Amadeo Howie Eury Gary Potts Chance Osborne Michael C Fox Timothy Miles and many others. I hope my brothers are all doing well today.
Hose Testing 2020. Each engine company will have every foot of hose tested during the month of September. Every Cornelius Engine company carries 3,250 feet of hose.

Always a good time packing hose, I volunteered in ny for 13 years and we had no hydrants packing 2500ft of 4 inch was not pleasant 😩🙈
Today Station 2 took advantage of the great weather and worked on some truck company operations. We started with a truck company drill getting set up for venting operations on a commercial structure. 2’s crew worked on lashing a roof ladder to the truck aerial when it comes up short. We ended with deploying the life saving rope and worked on our roof descending skills.

E2 taking a blocking position yesterday on I77NB @ Hambright Rd. After clearing an MVA at MM23 we were on top of another dispatched MVA. E2 was first arriving with three cars heavily damaged.

Hope everyone was ok. That is a gorgeous photo with the reflection
Great job guys. Keep up the good work. Appreciate all of you.
August inservice training consisted of foam operations. Every Cornelius engine company has an onboard foam system as well as a remote eductor. Davidson fire Department assisted with a tanker each day of training.
Throughout the month of July members have been getting a refresher on fire boat operations. As the summer goes on we are finding lake calls becoming more frequent. Our boat operators have been instrumental in this training.
Yesterday FB4 made an appearance at the Salute To Service. This event was hosted by Robby Maschhaupt, his crew, and Hungry Heroes. They are giving local first responders a day on the lake and wake surfing lessons. What an amazing day and phenomenal organizations. It’s safe to say we are much better at fighting fires than we are at wake surfing.
REMINDER: The outdoor warning sirens for McGuire and Catawba Nuclear Stations will be tested today at 11:50am. This is only a test.
