Tuesday Sep 1 2026 – Scanner News

Another busy day on Scanner Traffic, for those who are listening.

Around 2:30 AM, Kimball County Sheriff’s Office was asking for assistance at an address in Dix for a possible break-in, possible firearm. The reporting party was unclear about the details, and after a series of communications back and forth, troopers did not have enough to go on and were never able to find any vehicle involved in said incident. 

Around 10 AM, a two-vehicle accident happened, non-injury, with debris in the road, 21st Avenue and South Beltline in Scottsbluff. The accident did cause some temporary closures. 

Just before noon, a structure fire was reported, 1202 11th Avenue in Mitchell, possible garage fire. Close to another residence, Engine 3 responded to Mitchell, so station coverage was requested at Scottsbluff. In the end, two patients, conscious and stable, were treated. We should see a press release on that from our local fire departments. 

And then just after midnight, East 17th was the location of a reported assault victim. Ambulances responded, but were canceled by law enforcement on scene. That was in Scottsbluff. 

A lot of our news does come through Scotts Bluff, but we also cover the entire Panhandle, 11 or 13 counties, however you want to count them, and that includes 21 local high schools, which we are now covering in our Sunday Scanner News.
