City of Flagstaff

Flagstaff Mayor Paul Deasy and Coconino County Chair of the Board of Supervisors Matt Ryan have declared states of emergency following this week’s monsoon flooding.

The Coconino and Kaibab national forests have reopened to the public after fully closing two weeks ago because of extreme fire danger.

Coconino County officials say residents will again be allowed to use outdoor, liquid-fueled and electric grills with on-off switches at private residences.

The City of Flagstaff will implement stage four fire restrictions beginning Wednesday at 8 a.m. to reduce the danger of human-caused wildfires.

Flagstaff police say they’re continuing to investigate a tow truck crash nearly two weeks ago that left one cyclist dead and several others injured.

A candlelight vigil will be held Thursday evening for a Flagstaff cyclist who was killed last week when a tow truck driver ran a red light.

Coconino County and the City of Flagstaff are dropping masking mandates implemented last June to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Fire restrictions went into place Friday morning across several national forests and counties as northern and central Arizona face what are traditionally the driest and warmest months of the year.
