SFD prepares for H1N1


H1N1 Flu
What is The Fire Department doing?

The Spokane Fire Department is prepared for cases of H1N1 flu in Spokane City. We have taken the emerging information on this new flu virus very seriously and we have preparations in place to respond to and manage incidents of this type in cooperation with other agencies within the region.

What Can You Do?

We are urging citizens and visitors to take common-sense measures to guard against the illness. Panic is not helpful, but caution is. For example, practicing proper hygiene, staying healthy and visiting a health care provider if you start having symptoms consistent with the flu are important measures that citizens can take to assist with the containment of this flu.
Who can you call for more information?
