Good morning, Amarillo.

The Amarillo Fire Department fought a fire on Saturday morning at 6:01 in a trailer home and a shed on Eagle Lane, arriving in six minutes and using nine apparatus and 29 firefighters to control the blaze by 8:15 a.m.—no injuries were reported even though both buildings were deemed total losses with an estimated $150,000 in damage.

Today the Amarillo School Board meets at 5:30 in the Rod Schroder Education Support Center at 7200 I-40 West to hear the Superintendent’s Report, review several board reports and hold a public hearing on the proposed AISD Internet Safety Plan.

The Board will also consider changes to the Student Code of Conduct, granting 4-H extracurricular status, staff status for extension agents and district budgeted purchases—while starting the meeting with public comments.

The RANGE launched AgriShield, a pilot program using particulate sensors and broadband to detect early signs of wildfire in high-risk rangeland — the program is backed by a $125K grant from the Amarillo Area Foundation and will begin deploying sensors in the coming months.

The Potter County Sheriff's Office is hosting its 17th Citizens Academy starting in September for a 12-week free course that meets every Tuesday from 6 PM to 9 PM, offering ride-alongs, jail tours, and law enforcement presentations—participants will complete the course with a graduation ceremony and should call Sgt. McKinney at 806-279-2964 for more details.
