Strong work. Love seeing the deck gun being utilized. Big fire, big water. Great job folks.

At 04:20 Cornelius and Huntersville firefighters were dispatched to a structure fire in the Admirals Quarters Condominium Complex. Upon arrival Cornelius Engine 4 found a three story condo with heavy fire visible from the 3rd floor and roof. The call was upgraded to a Working Fire and additional units were requested from Davidson Stations 1 & 2 and Huntersville Station 1. Due to the close proximity to Lake Norman Denver Fire Boat 13 was requested.
Cornelius Engine 4 personnel were able to secure their own water supply and begin fire suppression. Crews advanced a 2” attack line to the third floor and began hitting the fire. Huntersville Engine 2 began a primary search. Cornelius Engine 6 arrived and assisted with suppression, H&L44 arrived and set up the aerial for master stream operations. Davidson Engine 3 arrived and established a water supply to H&L44.
Due to the size of the structure and the amount of fire upon arrival a box alarm was also requested from Charlotte Fire Department.
All in all there were 18 condos in the building and all of them suffered fire and or water damage. All primary searches proved to be negative. There were two aerial master streams used and two large diameter handlines used to control the fire.
Units Responding:
Cornelius – E4, E6, H&L44, R4
Huntersville – E2, L1
Davidson – E2, E3

Some of thoses structures have been there a long time now...I'm sure the insides have been updated but roofs are old and would certainly go up in flames very quick. I grew up in the area in the 70s and 80s when they were built. Hope no one got hurt.
Aw man. Hope all residents got out safely
Thank you for all your hard work to helping all people firemen, medical all first responders. God bless.
Some friends lived there, thank you for saving their snakes too.

Cornelius and surrounding Departments are operating at a major condominium fire in Admirals Quarters near the intersection of Westmoreland Rd and Catawba Ave.

Members got to check out the NASCAR Monster Energy Championship trophy today. Champion Tire & Wheel, Inc. is one of our local businesses that supplies wheels and tires to the series.
Cornelius and Davidson Fire Departments responded to reports of an explosion in the Bailey Rd / River Run area this evening. The cause was found to be a construction company blasting rock in the Bailey’s Glen subdivision. The Mecklenburg County Fire Marshals Office is investigating to ensure all proper permits were in place and procedures were followed. There was no damage to life or property.
Wow - I felt the shake and heard the boom at my house in Concord and thought I was going crazy!
Courtesy calls to FDs and PDs should still be made
More houses, ugh. Just what our little roads need. It’s all over the news about the intensity of the blast.
Do they not do the typical three horn blasts before they detonate?? And they should keep local FD and PD up to date when they blast.
My wife heard it in Mooresville just north of Mt Mourne.
I was about a mile away it was loud, window pane rattling.
Bill Shapcott. Kurt Floto. This is what happened

Would have been nice to know prior before my whole house shook.
That was very intense explosion 💥

Be careful while boating on Lake Norman. The projected rainfall tomorrow is over an inch. This will only make the situation on Lake Norman worse. #LakeNorman #FireBoat4The frequent heavy rains we’ve received lately have caused the Catawba River Basin to rise rapidly which is the primary inflow source of the Lookout Reservoir as well as Lake Norman.
Recently, Lake Lookout’s water level has reached 103.5 feet. 3.5 feet of overflow goes over the dams spillway and flows into Lake Norman bringing with it large items of debris.
Areas on the Northern end of Lake Norman, especially north of the North Carolina Highway 150 Bridge, have large debris such as large parts of trees floating in them which could make travel on the water hazardous. With more rain in the upcoming forecast, the conditions are unlikely to improve in the near future.
Please use extreme caution if you must travel on either Lake Norman or Lake Lookout.
