Two strains of flu, seasonal flu and the H1N1 (Swine) flu, are currently circulating in the United States. Most healthy people recover from the flu without problems, but certain groups of people are at high risk for serious complications.

This year, the H1N1 (Swine) flu virus may cause a more dangerous flu season with more people getting sick, being hospitalized, and dying than during a regular flu season. H1N1 is a new virus first seen in the United States. It is contagious and spreads from person to person. Like seasonal flu, illness in people with H1N1 can vary from mild to severe.

Several agencies have additional information about flu preparedness and prevention:

• The Centers For Disease Control and Prevention has an H1N1 specific website (http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/)  with ample information about who is at risk.
• The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has a website dedicated to the flu (http://www.flu.gov/).
• The Missouri Division of Health and Senior Services has set up an H1N1 hotline for Missouri residents to call for information ranging from symptoms and basic medical advice to the availability of the new H1N1 vaccine. That number is 1-877-358-4141 or 1-877-FLU-4141.

The Eureka Fire Protection District in cooperation with the Eureka Police Department will conduct two CERT classes in 2010. They are tentatively scheduled for:

• Spring: February 8, 15, 22 and March 1, 8,15,22,29
• Fall: September 13, 20, 27, October 4,11,18,25, and November 1

Check back soon for more information about registration.

During the spring months in the St. Louis Area, we have many days of high temperatures, strong winds, and low humidity. These factors and little recent rainfall can lead to dangerous grass and brush fires. Open burning is prohibited in the St. Louis region from April 15th to September 15th each year.

During the rest of the year, however, we do ask that Eureka Fire Protection District residents contact Engine House 1 at 636-938-5505 before burning any brush so we may know about it first. Eureka Fire Protection District does not issue burn or bonfire permits, but we may advise you not to burn at any particular time due to conditions.

For more information, you can download a hotsheet with safety tips and state and local regulatory rules on open burning.
