Welcome to Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue
Cornelius Firemen stayed busy on Monday running 13 calls and handling this vehicle fire on I-77.
Thanks for all you do to keep us safe. Stay safe out there, we greatly appreciate you
Thank you guys! Y’all are awesome!
Glad to see so many firefighters on scene with packs on. Maybe times are changing for the better!
God BLESS ya'll
Today we keep Ed and Michael Kennedy in our hearts and in our thoughts. May people never forget the sacrifice they made and all that they gave up helping others. And to honor them, today I’m starting a “$5 for 5 years” campaign and I think that a $500 goal is fitting. Money raised through this fundraiser will be split with the Last Call Foundation in Memory of Fallen Firefighter Michael Kennedy to help support the amazing work that Kathy Crosby-Bell has been doing to protect fire fighters and to prevent another tragedy like the Back Bay Fire of 3/26/14.
Thank you for helping us keep their memories alive and allowing us to continue their legacies of helping others.

While H&L44 and Huntersville Ladder 1 were setting up for aerial master stream operations Command made the decision to knock the fire back with the deck gun on Engine 4.
Strong work. Love seeing the deck gun being utilized. Big fire, big water. Great job folks.

Amazing work

cause of fire?
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
Charlotte – E28, L28, Batt 6, Car 8
Denver – FireBoat 13

Thank you firemen for all you do ,,,,👩🚒📛🔥🔥🔥🚒
Thank you for your service.
Some friends lived there, thank you for saving their snakes too.
Great job guys!
Thank you for your speedy professionalism. It’s a miracle no one or pets were hurt n that size of a fire. And glad none of you were hurt either. Fine job well done! Thank you!
Given the fire volume on arrival - you all made some pivotal command and tactical decisions that made one heck of a difference....and you arrived on scene quick. Proud to run with you all. Strong work!
Thanks again for everything y'all do. Very glad there were no injuries!
Good job fellas. Glad all are ok.
👍
Im glad you guys are okay...looks likke one hell of an inferno.
Matthew F. Booth Hagan Thornton
Great job gentleman, I walked past it earlier and I'm glad everyone was safe and no injuries. There was lots of work to be done to extinguish the amount of fire damage I saw
Aw man. Hope all residents got out safely
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.

Cornelius and surrounding Departments are operating at a major condominium fire in Admirals Quarters near the intersection of Westmoreland Rd and Catawba Ave.
Thank you for what you do! I heard everyone in the condos were safe, but two firefighters fell through the floor, could you confirm and are they ok? Thank you
Change any smoke detector batteries while you fellas were there?
God will keep them safe
Thank you for the quick response & knocking the fire out so quickly. Thank you for all you all do.
Another apartment fire!
Shortly after 5am this morning Cornelius & Huntersville Station 2 were dispatched to a reported working fire in an apartment in Station 2’s first due. Upon Engine 2’s arrival the call was upgraded to a working fire after crews found fire on the rear balconies of floor 2 & 3. The fire was quickly knocked down with no extension into the condos.

Around 6 this morning Cornelius and Davidson firefighters were alerted to a possible structure fire in the area of Mulberry St and Catawba Ave in Station 1’s area.

If you see or smell smoke in the area of station 1 we are doing training over the next 3 days. Members will be taking part in the Gaston College Flashover Simulator.
That is such a great tool. Every county should have one.

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!
I was about a mile away it was loud, window pane rattling.
More houses, ugh. Just what our little roads need. It’s all over the news about the intensity of the blast.
Would have been nice to know prior before my whole house shook.
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.
Courtesy calls to FDs and PDs should still be made
