Welcome to Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue
Hook and Ladder 44 is currently on scene assisting Davidson Fire Department with a small fire at the Egg Cafe. Use Caution in the area.
Hook & Ladder 44s crew took advantage of a beautiful Friday evening to conduct some new driver drills and ground ladder drills in the district. Training on buildings specific to our area allows us to gain knowledge of buildings prior to an emergency.
Oh yea, ground ladder drills. I remember them when I was with the Perry Twp Volunteer Fire Dept. Back in Ohio. That’s when find out good of shape you’re in.
For the month of May, we’re conducting training on ladder pipe operations and master streams. With our Seagrave Fire Apparatus Tractor Drawn Aerial in town, we’re fortunate to be surrounded by different types of ladders within our mutual aid departments. This morning, Town of Davidson, NC -- Town Hall Fire Department brought their brand new Tower Ladder to training with us so we could understand the differences and capabilities of that truck. We setup and flowed water from both trucks during the evolutions. We’re thankful for our great partnerships around us.
We were honored to host the kindergartners from Cornelius Elementary School yesterday to talk about fire safety and tour the firehouse!
Station 1 members received a call this morning for a citizens assist in the Heritage Green community. When they arrived, they discovered two kittens that were 2 weeks old were trapped in the engine compartment of a car. Witnesses said that the mother cat carried them in there. Our crews disassembled the underside of the car (skid plate) to get the kittens freed up after about 45 minutes. All kittens were safe and reunited with their owner. #corntown
We have the best fire department

Nice job!🐈
Over the last two days members have been attending a joint training exercise with our lake partners. Today we conducted a large scale scenario involving the Carolina Grace (a large event boat). We have seen an increased number of boats on the water as the weather improves. We encourage everyone to please be safe on the lake this summer.
Our area is slated to get some nasty weather this afternoon. Stay weather aware. #corntown
Over the weekend, our members assisted Iredell County with the search for this missing boater. Unfortunately, the results were not what any of us wanted.
With boating and swimming season on the lake beginning to pick up for the year, we urge you to always wear a life jacket or use some sort of personal flotation device when you’re in the water. It could save your life.
We were happy to welcome the families of The CORE Training, Inc. to our Station 2 today for a tour of the firehouse and rigs! Thank you to them for the generous donation of fruit baskets!
Thank you for having us today! The kids had a great time.
Thank you so much for accommodating us. We’ll have to take care of Station 1 next time! 😉
The Officers and Members of Cornelius-Lemley Fire Department would like to congratulate Firefighter Jordan Lee and his new wife Anna on their marriage! We wish you guys nothing but the best in the future!

We would like to ask everyone to keep the family of Mark Boesmiller, one our firemen in your prayers tonight. His wife Jessica’s fight with cancer came to an end today. She has been courageously battling this horrible disease for quite some time now. Please keep Mark, their 4 children, family, and friends in your thoughts and prayers.

Members at Station 1 on the Eastside, took advantage of this beautiful Saturday to conduct some spring cleaning of the firehouse.
Our members are in the firehouse 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. We spend nearly 1/3 of our lives in the firehouse. Because of that, we like to take pride in our house just like it’s our own.
I don’t think most people know all that you do! I’ve learned a lot - also by attending some of your educational sessions.
Good job guys. As they used to say, “A place for everything and everything on its place.
Try spending 2/3rds of your life in a truck. Much more confined that a firehouse. We get no respect
This is a reminder that the Duke Energy sirens at McGuire Nuclear Station and Catawba Nuclear Station will be tested today, Wednesday, April 13, 2022 between 11:00a.m. and 1:00p.m. Similarly to January’s test, this will sound for 5 to 30 seconds and will not be a full volume test which means some residents in the 10 mile Emergency Planning Zones may not hear it unless they are close to a siren. This means that some residents who would have typically heard the full volume tests conducted many not hear it today. In the past, the quarterly test was performed at full volume. Beginning this year, the first three quarterly tests are not conducted at full volume and the fourth quarter test will be full volume. No action is needed – this is for your situational awareness.
Overnight, Engine 4 responded with Huntersville Fire Department to Interstate 77 for a motor vehicle accident. A few minutes later, the call was upgraded to a pin-in, bringing Rescue 4 to the scene. Arriving crews confirmed that one patient was pinned inside the vehicle.
A medical helicopter from MedCenter Air was requested to the scene for transport due to severity of injuries.
Engine 4 and Rescue 4 operated for about an hour before returning to service. Thanks to Huntersville for the photos.
Appears to have been a well coordinated call. Good job to Cornelius Lemley and Huntersville departments.
Thank you crew members. We are so lucky to each of you when there is an emergency.😃
Great job guys
Prayers for all involved here. Y’all are angels on earth.
🙏🙏
Earlier this evening, we responded to assist Huntersville Fire Department with a commercial building fire at the old Huntersville Hardwood’s at McCord Road and Old Statesville Road. Huntersville Engine 1 arrived with a working fire. Cornelius Engine 6 arrived and secured our own water supply and assisted with extinguishment and overhaul. Huntersville Tower 1 operated on the roof; opening roof hatches for ventilation. Engine 6 operated on scene for just over an hour before being released.
Thank you Corn Town! You always have our back. Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue
The black smoke was crazy. Ty for your hard work!
Thanks 🙏 👏👏

2 great guys!
Today is the day! We’ll see everyone in a few hours to celebrate the careers of Chance and Terry!We would like to invite the public to join us in celebrating the careers of two of our longtime firefighters. The celebration will be:
April 2nd, 2022 from 1pm-5pm at Cornelius Fire Station 1 (19729 S. Main Street)
Terry Mayhew joined in 1985 and served our department for 36.5 years. Terry has always been an extremely dedicated member both volunteer and an on a paid basis. Cornelius has always been known for having aggressive firemen that would go above and beyond to ensure that the incident was handled quickly and professionally. Terry was one of the original Cornelius hard chargers at any fire scene in the northern end of Mecklenburg County – if it was burning you could guarantee he would be there and most likely finding his way to the nozzle.
Chance Osborne joined in 1993 and served our department for 28 years. Chance was also one of the firefighters that set Cornelius apart from all the other departments during his time here. Prior to paid members you could often find Chance at the Station manning the rigs at all times of the day. In fact, there were many times that calls might not have been answered if Chance wasn’t here. Chance was one of the first part-time paid firefighters in 2000 and was a solid, steady, dependable fireman for those 22 years.
Reminder:
We would love for you to join us this coming Saturday, April 2, to celebrate the careers of two of our long time members that are retiring.
