Open Burning
Smokey the Bear
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.

Child Safety Seats
Did you know that more than 81 percent of child restraints are used incorrectly? Motor vehicle crashes are the leading killer of kids ages 2-14. Your Eureka Firefighters want you to learn about protecting kids from injury in crashes. It is up to you to protect them just as your firefighters are here to protect you.
