Good morning, Scottsdale.

While Scottsdale has not had a fatal house fire in 2025, Phoenix-area fires resulted in the death of twelve people compared to five by this time last year—Scottsdale Fire Chief Tom Shannon warned that missing early alerts and escape plans can make fires more deadly.

Scottsdale-based Advanced Home Watch Services earned accreditation for the fourth year from the National Home Watch Association—this status confirms the firm meets high industry standards for background checks, insurance, and bonding.

The company serves areas including Phoenix, Rio Verde, Scottsdale, Carefree, Paradise Valley, Cave Creek, Sun City, Fountain Hills, Peoria, and Mongollon Rim.

Many local school districts, nonprofits and private groups will offer before- and after-school programs around the Valley for the 2025-2026 school year—these programs provide homework help, arts, sports and options for students with special needs at school campuses, recreation centers and city sites. Program costs vary, with some options free and others requiring memberships or fees.

A father-daughter team from Train2Win Rehab & Performance in Scottsdale joined the MLB Draft Combine from June 17 to 21 and evaluated 322 players using the Y Balance Test, with results shared with MLB teams & USA Baseball.
