Not that it helps for actual breaking news like fire calls etc, but I’ve found the best way to get local new is using Google news alerts. I use mostly for work, but I have some for my town. Put in the relevant keywords and it finds the stories for you.

And on Twitter I have alerts for various accounts like 511vt and a few news orgs (not the clickbait corporate out of state owned ones)

Agree

BPDs Twitter feed used to actually post breaking safety/traffic information, but not anymore. Front porch forum can be good for some hyper local info as well. That is if you don't mind weeding thru all the "missing cat" posts
