About Us

Here at Prescott eNews, we think there's a lot going on in the Prescott quad-city area. And, yes, we know that bad news happens, but we also know that a lot more good news happens. So, we intend to tell lots of good news, while not ignoring the bad news. 

Although there are some online news sites for the Prescott area, there aren't many that seem to take advantage of the medium of the internet. Here at Prescott eNews, we know the difference between putting a book or a newspaper online, and using the Internet to its full potential. And we think it's time that a quality news website makes its home in Prescott, Arizona.

How Old Are You?

Ssshhhh...! Don't tell anyone, but we launched our beta site in June, 2007. So, yeah, we're the new kid on the block. Well, at least for this particular site. But, our staff has been designing websites for nearly 10 years, and are also accomplished Photoshop digital artists, writers, photographers and design instructors. What all that means is that just because this particular site is new, it doesn't mean that we don't know what we're doing.

Please use the contact form to send all comments and suggestions. We look forward to hearing from you.

dumpster2.jpgOn August 10, 2008 at approximately 10:30 p.m., and in the early morning hours of August 11, 2008, there were four separate dumpster fires in the city of Prescott. The first dumpster was set on fire in the alley of west 140 South Montezuma. The dumpster was fully involved when the fire department arrived to extinguish the flames. The plastic lid of the dumpster was destroyed and it will cost the city more than $300 to replace.

The next three fires also occurred in dumpsters. At approximately 4:15 a.m., two dumpsters were set on fire behind 420 E. Sheldon Street and the last dumpster was found on fire behind 182 E. Sheldon Street. Two of the three dumpster’s lids were destroyed and one of the dumpsters had no damage.

Police and Fire personnel believe the fires were all intentionally set by the same person or group. At this time it is unknown what was used to ignite the fires.

Prescott Police are looking for assistance in trying to identify the suspect or suspects in the arsons. If anyone has information, they are encouraged to call the Prescott Police Department at 778-1444 or Yavapai Silent Witness (800) 932-3232.
