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.

Tony Scaccia, speaking at the first community meeting for Crown King evacuees.
When Tony Scaccia, Incident Commander for the Lane 2 Crown King fire, spoke at the first community meeting for Crown King residents, the one thing he wished for was the monsoonal rain. Well, today Scaccia got his wish, because by 6 pm today, rain had poured over about half of the fire. This was terrific news for the weary firefighters. It doesn't entirely extinguish the fire, but it sure helps! The hope is that as the evening wears on, more rain will fall, covering the rest of the fire.

Acres: 10,100

Containment: 50%

Personnel: 585

Crews: 16
