Cornelius-Lemley Fire Rescue

Today, Cornelius and Mount Mourne Fire Dept responded to assist Town of Davidson, NC Fire Department on a small commercial fire on the roof at The Community School of Davidson. Hook & Ladder 44 was assigned roof operations, while Engine 3 secured its own water supply and stretched a handline to the roof to extinguish any hotspots. The caller reported seeing an explosion on the roof and called 911. Luckily, contractors working on the roof saw it and were able to control most of the fire prior to our arrival.

With the heat index pushing nearly 110°, our crews worked in challenging conditions while staying focused on the task at hand. Incidents like these are a reminder that training, teamwork, and preparation make all the difference when seconds count.
