For the month of March, our members have been participating in live fire training at South Iredell Fire-Rescue. This months training focused on “out of the box” scenarios such as hoarding conditions, lines over ladders, and of course, searching for victims in zero visibility conditions. These are things that we don’t encounter often, so ensuring that we stay proficient on these skills in case the need arises is pertinent. ... See MoreSee Less

So scary! Hope the driver is ok 🙏

Did the driver survive?

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Early this morning a driver lost control of their car and hit a guardrail on I77 between exits 28 and 30. The driver got out of their vehicle and was retrieving items from the passengers side of the car when the vehicle and driver were struck by another vehicle pinning the driver in the car. Cornelius, Davidson and Mount Mourne Fire Departments worked together to extricate the driver, assist Medic with patient care and landing the helicopter for MedCenter Air.Image attachmentImage attachment

From 0630 yesterday (3/23) until 0630 this morning (3/24) our firefighters answered 25 calls for service. 

With four of our firefighters in Driver Operator class yesterday, our Fire Chief parked his truck and got into the drivers seat of the Engine Company.  He wheeled the truck to 11 calls yesterday by 5pm. 

We’re fortunate to have a Fire Chief that spends time with the crews, cooks lunch for us, and gets on the truck from time to time!  Getting back to his roots!  #CORNTOWN

More Chief's need to do this. Some tend to forget where they came from. Much respect Chief.

I’m sure he is one of the crew

That’s a good Chief, never asking his crew to do something that he’d never do. Way to lead by example Chief

As a volunteer fire chief of a small department, I’m the driver the hose man, pump operator, the ladder thrower and the IC. In all your a firefighter with a title. If your able, do it. Nothing like getting dirty with your members, but don’t forget your responsibility as a cheif. ❤️🚒💪🏻

There are so many fire department officers who can learn from this. This is a leader.

Keep up the good work!🚒🚒

We are lucky to have such a fine organization to protect us.

Not many real Chiefs left out there. GB is definitely one of them. #SOLID

Wow! That's awesome! Thanks Chief for your service and all your firemen out there

Way to lead by example Chief.

Outstanding!!!Leading by example!

Leaders lead from the front.

Our chief will do it all too.

And I bet you the Chief loved every second of it!

Thsts what a great chief does!!!!

One of a kind. A good example to everyone .

Thank each of you for all you do for our community!!!

That's awesome 👏 Thank you for all you do.

Love the Chicago green light up front.

Keep up the good work!

God bless firefighters!

Busy, tiring shift

That’s how you do it! 🚒👍🏻

That's awesome! Congratulations!

Thanks prayers stay safe and well in Jesus name

In fiscal year 2022 Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue and the Town of Cornelius began an effort to combat occupational cancer within the fire service. The partnership began by purchasing two gear extractors for each fire station. This allows firefighters to clean their gear, limiting their exposure to harmful carcinogens and toxins found in their gear after fighting fire. 

In fiscal year 2023 the town board approved phase one of a capital improvement project that provided money to purchase a second set of gear for 1/3 of the department. This allows firefighters to launder dirty gear while on duty and remain in service with a clean second set for the remainder of their shift. This week we received a shipment twenty one sets of gear, eighteen were second sets for our employees that worked the most hours in 2021 and three were for our new full time employees that were hired last September. 

We would like to thank the Town of Cornelius for their continued support of our Fire Department.

Over the course of the next several weeks, our duty crews will be cleaning and detailing every truck and piece of equipment we carry. Today, C-Shift started work on Engine 5. This truck is the second oldest piece of apparatus in our fleet, and we strive to keep it looking brand new.

Engine 5 is a 2005 Seagrave and is housed at Station 1. #corntown #Eastside #mainstreetengineco

When you’re the best, ya’ got to look the best.

It was a hated chore but a necessary evil, every year

Daniel Folks Sam Sparacello looks like us!

The new standard is to dump apparatus at 10 years look it up.

Got to love the truck crew but I’d much rather wheel the wagon 😉

Spent many years “up in the coop”. You’re right, best seat in the house!

🇺🇸. Yes It Is. Like A Little Loft Apartment. Practically Live Back Up There!

Had the honor of being a tiller man in an open seater. Best seat in the house.

We used to call it the pope mobile…..best seat in the house…especially during parades.!!!..loved being a tillerman…

I was able to drive both ends for 3 years. Best job in the Fire Service!

Nothing else like it

It is fun to drive through traffic, loved watching the look 👀 on people’s faces when they see you coming right at them, while transitioning through a red light on the wrong side of the road… but there are a few downsides! You better wear a seatbelt and helmet because a bump or pot hole will try to launch 🚀 you through the roof. It’s rough back there

I served as a fireman for West Virginia for 25 years and the 25 years that I was a fireman I have praise God that all the time that I served not one time I got injured or hurt but I always tell people be thankful for Jesus because he's how I know he's real because he kept me safe he let me save people's lives so I want to thank you for the service that you did for us I want to thank for the people that serves in the military and all police medical environments fireman's cuz without these people here on Earth this Earth would not be the same you all are my heroes and always will be in my heart thank you brother and sisters

Bumpy ride but a great seat. Loved our tiller.

40 years but never had the honor of tillering

Aquí en Aragon ( España ) 40 años he estado yo de bombero conductor ahora ya jubilado pero no tenemos los camiones tan largos, un abrazo amigos

My husband was retired firefighter Haz-Mat and a paramedic, he always was amazed that this type of truck was still being used. It takes a lot of skill.

Thank goodness for the trickiest who make the Engines job easier. Served 23 years Retired.

Second best thing to being a Rock Star.

In my volunteer days the tiller was not enclosed. I had to duck down exiting the bay door!

Yes for sure

1 for stop, 2 to go, 3 for backing.

Looks like mecklenburg county, nc.

Brilliant. ☘️🇮🇪

My dream seat

Always the last to the scene though lol

Love it! ❤️

Tillerman!!

On Thursday Cornelius firefighters answered three separate natural gas leak calls. The third and final one involved a water leak as well causing quite a muddy situation. Cornelius ended the day with 11 calls for service and one set of extremely muddy gear. ***Reminder - Call 811 before you dig to have utilities located***Image attachmentImage attachment

Thanks for coming to Oakhurst AGAIN due to Spectrum’s inability to avoid hitting all sorts of lines as they lay cable 🤦🏻‍♀️ We appreciate you!

Spectrum came to caldwell station and did the same thing! Hopefully they have to pay the city for all this carelessness!

They have flags and paint markers everywhere and they still hit them. 🤦‍♀️

Jesse Posey this what I was talking about.

Those 3rd party contractors could careless on what they damage, all they care about is getting the fiber in the ground as they get paid by the foot. If Spectrum would start fining their contractors for each damage, then this might slow down some. If everyone would go express their displeasure and concerns at the monthly Char-Meck Utilities Commission Meeting then maybe this would help hold Spectrum accountable.

Thank you for everything that you do for us

Thank you for all that you do for us❤️
