Good morning, this is your Flagstaff Local Frequency for Tuesday, April 29, 2025.Spring is in full bloom here in Flagstaff, and this week’s local news has plenty to keep you informed and inspired. Let’s start with a reminder that April is Water Awareness Month in our city. Throughout today and the remainder of the month, the Flagstaff Water Conservation team is hosting events all over town, offering free water efficiency consultations and supplies. If you’re looking to make your home a little greener, stop by one of their tables for advice and pick up some handy conservation tools. And if you’re feeling lucky, don’t miss their raffle for a free high efficiency toilet. For those who really want to dive in, there’s even an opportunity to RSVP for a special Water Treatment Plant Tour, a great way to see the science behind our city’s sustainable water efforts up close.Looking ahead to safety and our local environment, the Coconino National Forest is conducting prescribed burns on the Flagstaff Ranger District between April 28 and May 3. The targeted area covers about 369 acres, and the goal is to maintain healthy forests and reduce wildfire risks as we head into summer. That means you may notice some smoke in the area over the next few days, so keep your windows closed if you’re sensitive and drive cautiously around the burn zones. These burns are a crucial part of protecting our community and the beautiful landscape that surrounds it, so a big thanks to our local forest teams for their work.For those following local public safety news, the recent activity around North Country Healthcare and reports of a train fire have kept emergency crews busy. While there have been some serious incidents in the city recently, officials want to remind everyone to stay aware, look out for neighbors, and keep the 24/7 FlagScanner hotline handy for quick updates or to report emergencies. Our first responders are working hard to keep Flagstaff safe and informed.And on a lighter note, as the weather warms up, there’s no better time to explore Flagstaff’s parks, catch the last of the Water Awareness Month activities, or enjoy a meal at one of the city’s vibrant local restaurants. Whether you’re a longtime resident or just passing through, there’s always something happening that brings our community together.This has been Flagstaff Local Frequency.
