| Good morning RJ,
Supporting the local community is something the Arizona City Fire District is passionate about, and giving back is something that closely aligns with the core of the district’s mission. For the month of April, that dedication will be on display as firefighters and fire district staff will wear custom shirts in support of Autism Awareness Month.
Would you ever consider getting into a taxi with no driver in the front seat? Well, you might have the opportunity to think about this question more seriously in the not-too-distant future as two companies that specialize in self-driving robotaxi rides seek to roll out their services on the bustling streets of San Francisco. They include Google spinoff Waymo, which has been offering driverless ride-hail services in Phoenix since 2020. If successful in their efforts, these two companies could usher in a future where driverless rides are common.
Speaking of changes, Coolidge recently witnessed a big one as the city’s fire department marked its first two weeks since its move to 24-hour service, seven days a week. According to the department’s fire chief, the move has already led to a 25% increase in fire and emergency calls. |
