Welcome to Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue
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.

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.
Thank you for your excellent teamwork!!! God bless everyone involved!!!❤️❤️❤️
Express lane needs to go when it’s the lake on both sides
Rough call, hope y'all are alright!
Oh sounds terrible. I hope he lives .
Oh my, praying everyone involved is okay.
God bless all first responders and prayers for the injured.
Praying for everyone involved
Hope everyone is alright !
And sounds like u are busy again today.
They need to wall to block the lake. Most of the accidents happen on these areas where the lake is visible.
Forced us over to the toll lane, so now I will get a damm bill from those crooks

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
Sailboat Removal. March 20, 2023.
Nice job!!
So who’s boat is it? Will they be paying removal costs or was this just training?
Way to go!!
She was a good girl in her day!
Caitlin Clary Brandon Clary I wonder if this is "the sailboat"

Yesterday, Cornelius Fire along with Cornelius Police Department, TowBoatUS Lake Norman, Rescue 1 Towing, LLC, Workhorse Marine LLC, Laytons Tree and Crane Service, and Service Plumbing worked to remove a sailboat that has been partially submerged near the sandbar for nearly 2 years. The submerged vessel was deemed to be a hazard to boaters and other patrons of Lake Norman as well as posed an environmental threat. Check out this video documenting the process leading up to the successful removal of this vessel! Thank you to all agencies involved!

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.Caitlin ClaryBrandon Clary

Early this morning, members responded to this MVC with reports of patients pinned inside. Quick efforts by Cornelius personnel on scene provided Mecklenburg EMS Agency - Medic rapid treatment and transport to a local hospital.
Was this on Bailey?
Oh my goodness, that looks bad. Pray everyone is going to be okay.
Was this behind Walgreens?
🙏🙏
🙏🏻
If you want to learn more about Mecklenburg EMS Agency - Medic and upcoming changes to how they respond in our community, you can attend one of their upcoming community meetings. We encourage everyone to come out and see these changes and have the ability to voice your opinions. These changes WILL affect you, your families, and how Medic will respond to you during your time of need.

CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS, CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES!
This weekend, when you change your clocks forward, don't forget to also replace the batteries in your smoke and CO alarms. It only takes a few seconds but could save your life! For more #firesafety info, visit: www.ncosfm.gov/.../fire-prevention.../smoke-alarms
Huge thank you to McAlister's Deli of Cornelius for dropping off lunch to our duty crews today! We’re thankful for our community partners!
Had my first (and absolutely not the last) meal at McAlisters with the truck committee.

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.
Our Firefighters are the BEST!!
Money well spent Cornelius! Protecting those who protect us is so very important! ❤️
Take good care of the men!
This should be a standard for firefighters EVERYWHERE.
Thank you for keeping our boys safe! #fddad
Great move
Great
🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you 🙏🏻

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
Thank you for everything you all do for our Town!
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.
Best seat in the house. #tillinnthrillin #TractorDrawnAerial #seagravefireapparatusfwd #corntown
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!!
For suy
This week 9 Cornelius Fire Department members had the opportunity to attend Thermal Imager training which was lead by Insight Training LLC. This hands on, live fire training was conducted at the Harrisburg NC Fire Department brand new training facility. Thank you for the training opportunity!
Thank you for the opportunity and everyone’s hard work!
Glad to have the members out with us! Y’all are welcome back anytime!
It has been 85 days since Madalina was last seen getting off her school bus on November 21, 2022. It has been 61 days since Cornelius Police learned on December 15, 2022, Madalina was missing.
The Cornelius Police Department, the SBI and the FBI continue to search for Madalina. Detectives are working tirelessly and are following up on many leads to bring Madalina home.
Please continue to share her pictures on social media to help us #FindMadalina.
If you have information that could help detectives, please contact the Cornelius Police Department at 704-892-7773.
Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) will be offering the NC Driver Operator Series at Cornelius Fire Station 1, 19729 S. Main St, starting March 13, 2023. See the schedule for dates and contact information.
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***
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❤️
Thanks for all you do for us
