Cornelius, Huntersville Fire Department, East Lincoln Fire Department, and Mooresville Fire-Rescue are currently working a drowning in the area of the Peninusla Yacht Club on Lake Norman. Please avoid this area of the lake while units are operating. There are also drones in the air working this incident. Cornelius 15 has Command.
Town of Cornelius Cornelius Police Department
ATTENTION:
There is a large mulch pile in the area of Chartwell Center Drive that has been on fire since yesterday. The fire is contained to the pile, however this pile is producing a good amount of smoke throughout town. We have been in contact with the Supervisors of the site as well as other agencies; and we are working to mitigate this issue. You will notice smoke throughout the area, but please do not call 911 about this. We are aware.
I’m pissed!!!!! I thought somebody was smoking some bbq!!! What a waste of good smoke.
Earlier this evening, Rescue 4 was called to assist Davidson Fire with a Motor Vehicle Accident with Pin-In near the Mecklenburg / Cabarrus County line. Rescue 4 members operated on scene for approximately 30 minutes assisting with extrication and loading of the patient before being released by Command.
You cannot imagine the fear in your soul when pinned in car praying for help. Then u see those lights and your heart is lifted. In minutes a team of well trained fire fighters and EMS folks are in the car with you as they cut it open. As they slide the neck brace and back board under u as you are slowly and so very carefully removed from the car, well there are no words for the gratitude you have for these people. And then u are in an ambulance and never ever get to know their names. Thanks to each and everyone who does this amazing work.
At 9:28pm last night, Cornelius was dispatched to Kings Point Marina for a boat fire. Cornelius Engine 4 arrived with nothing evident. Cornelius 14 had Command initially. Due to the length of the dock and distance away from land, Engine 4 was unable to initially see it on arrival. It was quickly upgraded to a working fire, adding Davidson Engine 1 and Tanker 1. Cornelius 9 arrived and assumed Command, giving Cornelius 14 suppression. Engine 4s crew and H&L44s crew stretched 700’ of hand lines to reach the fire. Engine 6 caught the hydrant and laid in to Engine 4 to establish a water supply. The fire was controlled and is under investigation by the Mecklenburg County Fire Marshals Office.
Talk about co-ordination. Team work and training. Awesome job to everybody
Thank you ALL for your service to the community safe. While this is a sad situation and a loss for those involved, it could have been far worse.
Thank you for all you do.
You got a love and respect the guys that run to a fire instead of away from it
Thank you guys! Always on point!
Nice job!!!
We’ve partnered up with our mutual aid lake agencies; Huntersville Fire Department and East Lincoln Fire Department to provide training this month on new GIS software for Lake Norman. This invaluable software is a huge asset to us and provides much better interoperability between our agencies. We were able to use it last week on the drowning near marker R4, and it worked seamlessly.
Amazing tools for our lake. Thank you for all you do
Only the best for the Best.
Update: The body of the missing swimmer has been recovered. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families involved.
Our agency is working a possible drowning in the area of marker R4 on Lake Norman. Our command post is set up at Blythe Landing. Please avoid both areas while crews work. We’re working with partners from Huntersville Fire Department Denver Fire Department Sherrills Ford - Terrell Fire & Rescue Cornelius Police Department. More information will be released when available by NC Wildlife Resources Commission. Use Caution. #LKN

Folks on #LakeNorman, use caution. It’s going to get nasty soon.Heads up #LakeNorman folks! Beware - strong storms (wind, rain, hail, lightning) headed your way! #Thunderstorm #LKN #CLTwx #GetOffTheLake #july4weekend🇺🇸
Today we had the privilege of teaching the latest CPCC paramedic class vehicle extrication. These students worked hard through the heat of the day and did great!
Spread the knowledge and training. Great job Cornelius-Lemley Fire and Rescue and congratulations to the CPCC for wanting to learn
The #July4th weekend is historically one of the busiest weekends for us as a department and as a community. While we celebrate this weekend, please remember that fireworks that shoot up into the sky are illegal in North Carolina. Keep your family safe by taking precautions.
This weekend, along with Memorial Day Weekend are our 2 busiest lake holidays on #LKN. Boaters will be out in full force, along with inexperienced and intoxicated boaters. Always wear your #PFD when you’re on the water. It will save your life.
We hope that everyone celebrates responsibly and enjoys this holiday weekend!
Stay safe out there

Please consider donating to the Carolina Brotherhood- Honoring The Fallen & Their Families. They’re starting Day 4 of the 2022 Ride today.
The mission of the Carolina Brotherhood is to provide emotional and financial support for the families of those who lost their lives in the line of duty from the Carolinas. The organization builds awareness and appreciation of the sacrifice these extraordinary individuals have made, and seek to honor their memory.
This event began after Captain Jeff Bowen of the Asheville Fire Department died in the line of duty July 28, 2011. Following his death, a group of firefighter and police officers decided to cycle from Wilmington to Asheville to honor him. Since then, the ride has grown each year and focus on line of duty awareness, honoring those lost in the line of duty, and providing support as needed.

What an exciting time. These FFs will likely be the future leadership of a full career dept someday. That's too bad The FFs won't get a 457K... Will the town someday absorb the FD as a town entity as opposed to the FD being a private company?
isn’t Firefighter 1&2 a national certification not state certification
36k is absurdly low
Matthew Philip want to move here 👍🏻 I’ll even babysit
I'm retired and thousands of miles away, assholes
Look, I get it, Facebook ads are very affordable; but I wonder if it's really productive to run this nationwide, including in my Pennsylvania feed?
FULL TIME ? WHAT DO THEY DO ?

Keep the members and families of the Philadelphia Fire Department in your thoughts and prayers after the loss of a firefighter this morning following a fire/collapse.
