A huge thank-you to Roger Byars for leading this effort. The work Glenwood Neighbors spearheads — evacuation drills, home inspections, brush removal, and organizing neighborhood lists — is hard work and the foundation of keeping our neighborhood safe. We’ll continue to have access to Chipper Days, home evaluations, and education to keep us engaged and ready.

Just a few neighbors who help coordinate efforts and keep things moving.
With help from fire professionals or Firewise guidance, focused on real conditions in the neighborhood.
Practical steps like clearing defensible space, improving evacuation readiness, or sharing fire-safe practices.
For example: a clean-up day, educational meeting, or home-hardening project.
Even modest volunteer time counts — it’s about participation, not big budgets.
This keeps efforts current and encourages steady progress over time.
As we continue to build wildfire resilience together, our work as a neighborhood matters.
