Lettuce tests negative in St. Louis County E. coli outbreak
SUMMARY: In St. Louis County, over 100 people have fallen ill due to an E. coli outbreak linked to salads served at five events catered by Andres Catering. Although lettuce samples tested negative for the bacteria, health officials caution that this does not exclude Andres as a potential source, as E. coli can exist in isolated pockets. The outbreak has resulted in two serious illnesses, and Andres’s owner claims their business has been wrongly accused, asserting that people who did not eat their food also contracted E. coli. Legal representation for affected individuals indicates lawsuits against Andres are forthcoming.
St. Louis County health officials have reported over 100 people sickened in an ongoing E. Coli outbreak potentially connected to salads served at several events, despite a recent negative test result for lettuce samples.

Massive fire damages three homes in Eureka, no injuries reported
SUMMARY: A devastating fire in Eureka destroyed a home in the popular Legends community. The Biederman family, including Jeff, his wife Brianna, and their two young children, lost most of their possessions but escaped unharmed. They credit their Doberman Pinscher for alerting them to the fire, allowing them to evacuate in time. The fire, which began around midnight, quickly engulfed both the house and garage. Despite losing a cat in the blaze, the family managed to save their other pets. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and several fire departments helped battle the flames.
Eureka Assistant Fire Chief Scott Berthelmas says that his crew received the call for the fire just before midnight. While on the way to the fire, officials say crews could see the flames from afar. By the time fire crews arrived on the scene, both the home and the attached garage were already fully engulfed in flames.
