Greenwood Museum website and Greenwood Public Library website loaded; no specific dated public item from those sites was elevated into today’s official-source brief. ## Editorial handling - Published as a dated Daily Watch brief because the official forecast shifted to local/widespread smoke, a nearby road-work item appeared, and one nearby wildfire-map status improved while no Boundary evacuation notice was found. - Do not present wildfire map points as evacuation alerts. - Keep Greenwood fire-department leadership as an unconfirmed community question pending named or official confirmation.
