Unfortunately, a family was killed in a fire on 67th Emerald due to not having a smoke detector or another fire safety tools. The American Red Cross contacted RAGE and would love if residents of Englewood and West Englewood would be interested in volunteering for the “Team Firestopper” program as a Fire Safety Fair Preparedness Educator or a Canvassing Volunteer.
The dates set for Englewood are:
