Cape Girardeau Fire Department Halts Activities

Due to the increased outbreaks in Missouri of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Cape Girardeau Fire Department is temporarily halting the following activities:

• Public relations events
• Public education events
• Station open houses and station tours
• Outside visitors to fire stations
• Drop off of baked goods

These temporary measures will aid us as we focus our efforts on delivering emergency services to the citizens of Cape Girardeau while adapting to rapidly changing recommendations from national and local authorities.

We encourage residents to follow advice from our local and national leaders as we work through this virus.

It is important to note at this time there are still no cases in Southeast Missouri.
