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.
Old Hook & Ladder 44 is still turning heads at her new home in California. Thanks to Tractordrawnaerial.com for posting our old girl for the world to see. Most maneuverable rigs in the industry allowing for superb aerial placement even in tight spaces.

Even the old tillers still have great moves!
I changed the turn signal switch on that girl and some other work I can't remember when I worked at seagrave. Beautiful truck.
Bendey truck for the win

On December 27th Cornelius E2, E6 & R4 assisted Huntersville Fire Department with a working structure fire in Huntersville Station 2’s first due. Engine 2 was second to arrive and assisted with the fire attack.
Earlier in the day Engine 6 assisted Huntersville with a possible structure fire on Huntersville Concord Rd. While clearing that call a traffic accident with pin in was dispatched on Statesville Rd. Engine 6 responded and assisted with what unfortunately ended up being a fatal accident.
Cornelius ran a total of 13 calls on December 27th. Photo credit to Huntersville FD.
Thanks for the help!
Thank you for your service
Considering the area you protect, and the property value that can support it, this department needs to become fully funded with a true cost compensation for the volunteers that respond. You all are amazing, be safe.
How many active house fires does that make over the last couple/few weeks? What a mess! Glad everyone is safe, but so sad to lose everything esp at this time of year.
Thank you!
Thank you for all you do !!!
Stay safe out there. Thank you for all you do.
Pretty awesome guys.
Thank you for everything you do for our community. Stay safe out there.
You all do a great job!
Stay safe out there! Thank you for everything y'all do.

Today Engine 2 returned to the Madison Village neighborhood that was the scene of a working house fire on Monday December 17th. The community rallied around the Gillion Family and donated numerous items to our Station 2. Today those donated items were delivered by the same Engine Company that extinguished the fire at their home on Monday.
If you are interested in helping out monetarily you can go to their gofundme page www.gofundme.com/khgtt-home-destroyed-by-fire?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=....

Cornelius Lemley Fire Rescue needs your help. We are looking for families that may need a little pick me up around the holidays. Do you know of anyone in town that has a child that may be suffering from a medical condition, or is not able to get out of the house on Christmas? We are looking for someone special that we can come visit with one of our fire trucks on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Please send an email to gshaner@corneliusfd.org and include your contact info as well as a brief description. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

At 11:57 today Cornelius and Huntersville were alerted to respond to Madison Village Dr for a house on fire. Companies arrived and found a garage on fire that had extended into the home. Due to the large volume of fire and the risk of exposures becoming involved additional help was requested. In total 5 lines were operated off E2. H&L44 found some creative parking which put them in an effective position to get to work. The home suffered significant damage but due to the aggressive actions of members on scene many items were able to be salvaged.
Thanks to Huntersville Fire Department, Mount Mourne Fire Dept, Davidson Fire Department, and the Mecklenburg County Fire Marshal.
Glad we could help. Strong work guys! Great stop on a rapidly growing fire that already had a head start on you. Our thoughts are with the family that suffered this loss so close to Christmas
I watched all you guys today since I live close by and you were all so awesome! Thank you very much today and everyday for what you do for our community. Bless you all. 🙏❤️😘
Great job. Stay safe out there protecting our community, we appreciate each of you.

Is a "WORKING FIRE" an active fire or a practice controlled fire?
Hope everyone got out safely
Stay safe brothers

Not having training grounds in town means our training staff has to get creative. Collaboratives like this with Denver Fire Department helps keep the members proficient.
Jada Hernandez
How about a North Meck training facility? You, Davidson and huntersville could share.
Over the last two days members have had the opportunity to train in multi company drills at Denver Fire Department. They graciously opened their facility for us to come get the unique opportunity to drill under live fire conditions. This was also done while maintaining coverage in our own area.
Even though the snow/sleet has stopped please don’t let your guard down. Temperatures are projected to fall well below freezing after midnight tonight causing widespread black ice. Be careful tonight and during the morning commute.
By now you all know that we are expecting major winter storm to hit our area. We’ll leave the forecast to the professionals but we do want share this information in reference to Carbon Monoxide and preparing for power outages.
The stations are staffed and the equipment is ready. Please be safe and enjoy the snow.When power outages occur during severe weather, using alternative sources of power can cause carbon monoxide buildup. Take the appropriate steps now to prepare your home for a power outage and protect everyone inside. Install CO detectors and never use gas powered equipment indoors. Learn more here: www.cdc.gov/features/copoisoning/index.html.
El uso de fuentes alternativas de energía durante cortes de electricidad puede causar la acumulación de monóxido de carbono. Prepárese y proteja a todas las personas que se encuentran dentro. Instale detectores de CO y no use generadores que utilizan gas en espacios cerrados. Encuentre más información aquí: www.cdc.gov/features/copoisoning/index.html.

We will not be selling Christmas Trees this year. We have not been able to make contact with our supplier therefore the decision was made this morning to not sell trees. We are sorry for those that have made this annual tradition and we would like to thank all of you for your support in years past.
trees cause to many fires
😯 This has been our tradition for years - we always like supporting our firefighters!
Maybe this will help. Many suppliers if you change your mind. www.ncchristmastrees.com/
Courtney Shaughnessy maybe this was the issue? Read comment above mine from Linda Gillman
There was a story on the news this morning that many tree farms were destroyed in all the flooding we had this year and it may be many years before they have more trees for use at Christmas. That is why Christmas trees are a lot more expensive this year across the country
Planned to help you sell again this year. I understand.
Sell***
Pam McGrath
Davidson Lions Club has also discontinued Christmas tree sales
the cost went up
