Welcome to Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue
We would like to thank the Blue Stone Harbor Neighborhood for providing Jimmy Johns for the men tonight!
Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue would like to thank Little Heating & Cooling LKN for their continuous support over the last year. Last August they donated items for the raffle held during the Training for Jess event, they sponsored the annual charity Guns & Hoses Softball game in November and yesterday they provided lunch for the crews at both firehouses. Thanks to Harvey's Cornelius for the great food and a huge thank you to Todd Little.
Wonderful act of kindness- thank you Todd!
Our own Mel “Big Water” Kelly shared this post on his personal page yesterday. Mel is a retired Captain with the City of Gastonia FD and is a NC Instructor who has taught hundreds of firefighters across the state over his career. See his post below - thanks for the wisdom @bigwater0195
Hoseloads. Everyone has their favorite. No matter what hoseload you prefer, the decision SHOULD NEVER be based on the ease of loading the hose back. It SHOULD ALWAYS be based off of the area the rig covers, ease of deployment, etc. Its about the front end of the fire, not the back end. Hoseloads should compliment and support each other. Multiple lines of the same length and size don't offer much in the way of versatility and options. The rig pictured has multiple lines of different sizes and lengths give members lots of options. 150' 1.75" front bumper line all the way to 600' of 2.5" outfitted with an 1 3/16 tip. No two lines are the same. Which ever line is chosen, the backup or second line will be larger or longer.

That "Big Water" has so much knowledge to share.
Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue what's the purpose of the alternating longer folds on the white and black 2.5?
Love this setup. Do you guys find it difficult to reload hose with the dividers that tall?
Sexy!

For the month of March, Cornelius Firefighters are training on heavy lifting and moving, specifically vehicles pinned underneath of a tractor trailer. We cover several miles of heavily traveled interstate where this has the potential to occur.

This afternoon Cornelius was dispatched to an outside fire off of Carrington Club Dr. While enroute there was a large amount of smoke in the area and there were reports that there was landscaping and a roofing structure involved. The call was upgraded to a structure fire adding H&L44, Davidson Engine 1 and Huntersville Engine 2. Upon arrival a trash can, grill, landscaping area and a pergola were found to be on fire. Engine 2 quickly extinguished the fire and cancelled everyone but H&L44. #CORNTOWN @ Cornelius, North Carolina
Very professional job of total control of a incident. Everyone back to the house safe and sound.
So professional and responsive!
Station 2 spent some time on fire boat 4 reviewing charts, radar operation and cold weather rescue SOPs. #corntown @ Peninsula Yacht Club
Need Peter Blaich to get me on that boat!
Winter weather update for our area from NC Emergency Management. Travel could be hazardous starting this afternoon and into tomorrow.
Last night Cornelius Engine 2 and Rescue 4 responded to I77 southbound to a report of two tractor trailers involved in an accident. Upon arrival Cornelius firemen found heavy damage to one tractor trailer off the roadway. The driver had self extricated himself and was transported by Medic with non-life threatening injuries.
I think I drove through the aftermath on my way into work this morning...glad the driver was ok!!
