Do you have a list of such companies in the Cornelius area?
With Thanksgiving behind us, and everyone focusing on Christmas now, allow us to remind you of some simple fire safety tips for this Holiday season.
Did you know that Christmas is one of the top 3 days for home fires due to candles?
🚨Only use decorations that are flame-retardant or not flammable.
🚨Check holiday lights each year for frayed wires or excessive wear.
🚨Don’t link more than three strands of holiday lights.
🚨Never leave a burning candle unattended.
🚨Consider using battery-operated flameless candles.
🚨Keep your live Christmas tree away from heat sources and room exits.
🚨Water your live Christmas tree daily to keep it from becoming dry.
Today is the day. Pictures with Santa starts at 2pm at Station 1.MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
Santa Clause is coming to Cornelius! Bring your families out on November 27th to see Santa! He'll be at Fire Station 1 from 2pm-5pm!

Thank you for making Cornelius safe and secure.
This week six Cornelius firemen travelled to Vestavia Hills, Alabama and participated in multiple training evolutions in a hotel slated for demolition. The Central Alabama Fire Chiefs Association along with Fire Life Training hosted the event. Our firemen had the opportunity to learn about engine company operations, specifically working off standpipes with stretching and hooking up the appropriate appliances to the valve. The men practiced moving and flowing water in hallways and hotel rooms. Firefighters were also able to actually use a Bresnan nozzle and flow water from an upper floor to a lower floor above a fire. Members also worked on searching in a coordinated team effort, forcing steel doors in steel frames and throwing ground ladders to effectively make rescues. They also practiced learning different drags and carries to remove victims from a fire.
With over 300 multi-story buildings in the Town of Cornelius this extremely rare opportunity will pay huge dividends in the future. Special thanks to the instructors and the Alabama Fire College for sponsoring this event.
What an opportunity to train. Continuing education is critical!

Today Cornelius Fire was dispatched to a woodworking business on Hwy 115 for a reported outside fire. First arriving member found a outside fire that also involved the attached saw dust silo and vacuum system. Due to the potential fire risk, a working building fire assignment was started and additional companies were added. No extension was found in the building. Overhaul to the silo was conducted by members and searches of the building proved negative. Unfortunately there was one employee of the business that was injured. We do not have any updates, nor will we publish any on this matter.
