Cornelius Fire Department has served the Town since 2021. In years past, fire service has been conducted by the Cornelius-Lemley Fire and Rescue, a non-profit, volunteer organization that partnered with the Town.
This time of transition from volunteer staff to a full-time Fire Department is one of great excitement. Both the firefighters at Cornelius-Lemley and those with CFD are available around the clock and are dedicated to taking care of this community.
