Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Monday, July 14th, 2025.

Flagstaff wakes up today under the shadow of regional wildfires that continue to impact our communities and nearby landmarks. The Grand Canyon North Rim is closed three months ahead of schedule after the historic Grand Canyon Lodge and up to eighty other structures succumbed to the rapidly growing Dragon Bravo Fire. Park officials say not just the visitor center but also employee housing, utilities, and several historic cabins have been lost, with the White Sage Fire nearby forcing hundreds to evacuate and over 40,000 acres burned. Both fires began after lightning strikes and have spread quickly due to high winds and dry conditions. While there have been no reported injuries, concerns are high as smoke and dangerous heat persist throughout the region, with National Weather Service warnings ongoing. The fires are already impacting ranchers, tourism workers, and the broader economy—Coconino County leaders are pledging continued support and recovery efforts for everyone affected.

Amidst the smoke and heat, the Flagstaff event scene still offers ways to come together and enjoy the summer. The Pepsi Amphitheater is open at Fort Tuthill Park, hosting outdoor concerts and performances this week. It is a great spot for music lovers of all ages to enjoy local and touring acts while taking in the cool evening air. For the movie buffs, the Orpheum Theater is continuing its Free Family Summer Film Series tonight with a showing of Over the Hedge, thanks to a partnership with Nackard Pepsi. Families can RSVP online or drop by to catch a fun flick and escape the heat indoors.

If you are looking to learn or explore, head over to the East Flagstaff Community Library this evening from 6:30 to 7:30 for their bi-monthly reading and discussion session. It is open to all and a great way to connect with neighbors while expanding your mind. Looking ahead, fans of Celtic culture can mark their calendars for the Arizona Highland Celtic Festival taking place later this week—enjoy Scottish games, live performances, and food as Flagstaff celebrates its multicultural spirit.

The city’s nightlife scene also remains vibrant, with local bars, music venues, and cultural spaces offering a variety of experiences for every taste. Whether you are in the mood for live music, theater, or just a relaxing evening with friends, there is something happening in town tonight. For more information on events, Flagstaff365.com and Signals AZ remain your best sources for up-to-date listings.

With so much happening—from the challenges of wildfire season to the joys of summer festivities—Flagstaff keeps its resilient, community spirit shining bright. Stay safe, stay cool, and look out for your neighbors as we navigate these trying times together.

Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Saturday, July 12, 2025.

We start today’s update with a rare and serious local health story. Yesterday, officials at Flagstaff Medical Center confirmed northern Arizona’s first fatal case of pneumonic plague since 2007. The resident arrived at the hospital with severe symptoms and, despite prompt treatment, died the same day. Health officials are urging the community to stay cautious. Plague is extremely rare, but it can be contracted through flea bites or contact with infected animals, such as prairie dogs. Authorities are reminding everyone to avoid handling sick or dead animals, and to report any unusual die-offs, especially among prairie dogs or other rodents, to local health departments. Symptoms develop quickly and early antibiotic treatment is highly effective, so seek medical attention immediately if you experience sudden fever, chills, or difficulty breathing after possible exposure. An investigation is underway to trace the source of the infection, and officials stress that while the risk to the community remains low, awareness is essential.

On a lighter and much more family-friendly note, if you’re looking for something fun to do today, the annual Touch A Truck event is rolling into Coconino High School.

Firefighting crews remain on alert just west of Flagstaff after a small wildfire was reported near A1 Mountain yesterday afternoon. The Soggy Bottom Fire didn’t threaten structures and is being closely watched, but it’s a good reminder to practice fire safety throughout monsoon season, especially when recreating in the forests nearby.

For a bit of entertainment later tonight, local music fans might want to check the Pepsi Amphitheater lineup at Fort Tuthill. With major acts and regional favorites hitting the stage all summer, there’s no shortage of live music under the stars. Be sure to check ticket availability before you head out.
