That's why in 2021 we hired our first full-timers, currently comprised of four new firefighters. Not only are they dedicated, eager, and experienced, they are here to consistently provide the fire & rescue service levels that our very active Town needs.
Ready to meet the new guys?
Christopher Craven
Chris is a Mooresville native and current Statesville resident. He's been married to his wife Stacey since 2013 and together they share two wonderful sons: Paxton, 7, and William, 1. On top of being a full-time firefighter, he's also an amateur zoologist whose menagerie includes two dogs, five chickens, and one rabbit.
He began firefighting at 16 years old and found his passion in being able to help others on what is often the worst day of their lives. He says he also loves the fact that no two days are the same, and that they are never, ever dull.
Jordan Lee
Jordan is from Wake Forest and, to our delight, moved to Cornelius shortly after being hired. He spends his time with his fiancée, Anna, their dog, Bentley, or hunting and fishing in the great outdoors. Jordan's at his happiest when he's at the beach or near the water, and lucky for him, Cornelius has both.
Jordan has been a firefighter for one year and is ready to gain more experience at Cornelius-Lemley. He says he chose our Department for its location, reputation, and dedication to putting the community first.
Nick Milone
Nick hails from Northridge, CA, a town just north of Los Angeles. He fell in love with Cornelius while testing for the firefighting position and proposed to his fiancée, Elexa, the day before he moved to NC. They share two boxers, Creed and Donny. When he's not working, Nick enjoys being outside and traveling. He and Elexa love living in a new area together because there's so much to explore.
Nick has been a firefighter for one year but has worked in emergency services for three. He loves firefighting because every day presents a new challenge. He's especially grateful for this role because it allows him to train under so many experienced and knowledgeable peers.
Scott Murr
Scott is a LKN local, through and through. Born and raised in Davidson, he now resides in Huntersville with his dog, Buddy. In his free time, Scott enjoys spending a day out on the lake, taking a trip up to the mountains, or going fly fishing.
August marked Scott’s 10th anniversary as a firefighter. Like his coworkers, he enjoys the job for its quick, exciting pace and for the impact it has on the community. He's excited to witness the Department evolve and to learn from the other firefighters.
