🚨 FIRST NEW SCREWWORM CASE CONFIRMED IN ARIZONA — FOUND IN COCHISE COUNTY DOG 🚨

COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz. — Arizona has confirmed its first case of New World screwworm, and the detection was made right here in Cochise County.

The case involves a dog living on a ranch in Cochise County. Federal officials confirmed the infection Wednesday, October 28, after samples from the animal were tested at a USDA veterinary laboratory.

New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae can infest wounds and feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals. It can affect livestock, horses, pets and wildlife and, more rarely, humans.

The parasite is particularly concerning to ranchers and livestock producers because an untreated infestation can cause severe wounds, serious illness and potentially death.

Federal and state animal health officials are responding to the Cochise County detection. According to the USDA, response measures include establishing a 20-kilometer infested zone around the detection, placing controls on animal movement within the affected area, increasing surveillance and trapping, releasing sterile flies and conducting outreach to veterinarians, livestock producers and communities.

For pet and livestock owners, officials are emphasizing vigilance rather than panic.

Animal owners should regularly inspect their animals, particularly around open wounds, cuts, surgical sites or other skin injuries. Suspicious wounds, maggots or signs of an infestation should be reported immediately and evaluated by a veterinarian.

The New World screwworm had previously been eradicated from the United States but has been moving north through Central America and Mexico. Cases have since been detected in the United States, including Texas and New Mexico. Earlier this month, additional cases were confirmed in southwestern New Mexico near the Arizona state line.

The risk to people remains very low, according to federal health officials, and there have been no reported locally acquired human infestations in the United States during the current outbreak.

This is a developing situation, particularly for Cochise County’s ranching and agricultural communities.

CoolFMLive will continue monitoring information from the USDA, Arizona Department of Agriculture and local officials and will provide updates as additional details become available.

TO THOSE WHO RUN TOWARD THE CALL — THANK YOU.

Today, Wednesday, October 28, on National First Responders Day, we want to say something that can never be said enough:

Thank you.

Thank you to the men and women who answer the call when someone else is experiencing one of the worst moments of their life.

When a home is burning, you go in. When someone is hurt, you kneel beside them. When a crash happens, you respond. When someone is frightened, trapped, injured or in danger, you show up — often without knowing what will be waiting for you when you arrive.

Behind every uniform, badge, fire engine, ambulance, patrol vehicle and radio is a person.

A person with a family. A person with people waiting for them to come home. A person who experiences fear, exhaustion, heartbreak and grief, but has chosen a profession that requires putting others first when the call comes.

There are things you have witnessed that most of us will never see. There are calls you will never forget. There are holidays, birthdays, dinners and nights of sleep you have sacrificed because somebody needed you.

And every time that radio sounds, you answer — never knowing if it will be routine or a moment that changes someone’s life forever.

To our firefighters, law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics, 911 dispatchers, rescue crews and all first responders: thank you for running toward what others run away from. Thank you for holding the hand of a stranger who is scared. Thank you for being the calm voice on the other end of the phone. Thank you for fighting to save people you have never met.

And to the families of our first responders — thank you for the sacrifices you make, too. Every shift means watching someone you love walk out the door and trusting they will come home safely.

Here in Cochise County, we are fortunate to have incredible men and women answering that call every single day.

Today, we see you. We appreciate you. We honor you.

May you always know how much your service matters. May you always make it home safely. And may you never doubt how grateful this community is for you.

From all of us at CoolFMLive — thank you for answering the call. ❤️

🗳️ GENERAL ELECTION UPDATE: WHAT COCHISE COUNTY VOTERS SHOULD KNOW

The November 3, 2026 General Election is quickly approaching, and Cochise County election officials are encouraging voters who have received an early ballot to complete and return it as soon as possible.

As of 3:00 PM on October 23, the Cochise County Elections Department reported that 14,596 early ballots had already been tabulated at its Melody Lane facility in Bisbee.

So, what happens after you return your early ballot?

Returning a ballot doesn’t mean it immediately becomes part of the final results. Early ballots must first go through required verification procedures conducted by the Cochise County Recorder’s Office. Once that process is completed, ballots are transferred to the Elections Department for tabulation.

Arizona law allows early ballots to be tabulated before Election Day, but no election results can be released until after 8:00 PM on Election Night.

This is also why officials encourage voters to return ballots early. Ballots received on or close to Election Day still have to complete the same required verification and tabulation process. Returning yours sooner gives election workers more time to complete those steps before polls close and can help reduce the number of ballots still being processed after Election Day.

📅 IMPORTANT DATES FOR EARLY VOTERS

📬 Tuesday, October 27: Recommended last day to return your early ballot by mail.

📥 Monday, November 2 at 5:00 PM: Cochise County’s designated early ballot drop boxes close.

🗳️ Tuesday, November 3 at 7:00 PM: Final deadline for election officials to receive your completed early ballot. On Election Day, ballots may be returned at any Cochise County Vote Center or at the County Recorder’s Office in Bisbee.

⚠️ DON’T FORGET TO SIGN IT!

Before returning your early ballot, make sure you sign the affidavit envelope. This is an important part of the verification process.

Voters can also check the status of their early ballot through the Arizona Voter Information Portal at my.arizona.vote.

For additional election information, visit the Cochise County Elections and Recorder’s Office pages at cochise.az.gov.

☎️ Recorder’s Office: 520-432-8350
☎️ Elections: 520-432-8970

The takeaway: If you’re voting early and still have your ballot, don’t wait until Election Day if you don’t have to. Returning it sooner gives election officials more time to complete the required verification and tabulation process ahead of Election Night.

🚨 TRAFFIC ALERT: THREE-VEHICLE CRASH ON I-10 WESTBOUND 🚨

**UPDATE: The roadway has been cleared and opened back up at this time**

Drivers traveling on I-10 westbound near Wilmot Road should expect significant delays this morning following a three-vehicle crash in the area.

Traffic is currently backed up for quite a distance, with motorists being directed to merge right as they approach the crash scene.

⚠️ If you’re traveling through the area, please slow down, be patient, give first responders plenty of room to work, and expect delays.

Drivers who are able to do so may want to consider an alternate route until the scene is cleared and traffic begins moving normally again.

CoolFMLive will share additional information as it becomes available.
