Alerts - Our Fire Departments are in touch with the proper authorities to determine the health needs of our communities regarding Swine Flu (H1N1). We have not been activated or put on alert yet, but we are requesting that you locate your CERT Kit, I.D. Badge, vest and needed supplies like rubber gloves and a surgical mask. Please stock your kit with these items and have it readily available just in case. There is a swine flu hotline set up at 440.324.3177. Please direct any questions or concerns you or your neighbors have to this number. We will keep you informed as the situation develops.
