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.
