Narrative:
[During approach we] got a flaps fail caution message selecting flaps 30 on a left base prior to landing. Retracted the gear and notify ATC to have some vectors close to the airport to analyze and develop a plan (weather was not a factor being VFR; just the fuel being 2;300 pounds). First officer (pilot not flying) run the flaps fail QRH. Declared emergency with ATC to have fire and rescue vehicles standing by. [We] advised flight attendant of the abnormal situation. Also; made announcement to the passengers of the failure and the faster than normal speed on landing and the presence of fire rescue vehicles. Landing and rollout was uneventful.
