Residents have had access to their properties for a week now. Area churches, groups and neighbors have all stepped up to help.

On Wednesday morning Spicewood resident Kenneth Schutt welcomed help from his neighbor Johnny Rich. The two had never met before.

"I introduced myself. He said he needed some help. So here I am," Rich said.

Schutt welcomed the generosity. Just days ago, he found out his house was destroyed.

"Lawnmower engines melted into a puddle. Glass melted and that takes 2,700 degrees. So there was no wood left in the house anywhere, no roofing material,” Schutt said. “All that was left was metal roofing material. That was it."

Pastor Laura Heikes with Bee Creek United Methodist is coordinating with other pastors so they can maximize their efforts to lend more help to the area.

"The Baptist men, as they call themselves, are really good with chainsaws and cutting things down,” she said. “And they were in this weekend already doing that. Well we know now we don't need to do as much of that, maybe we can help with chipping up what's already there, sifting through the debris."

More than 100 volunteers plan to venture out this weekend in the affected areas of Spicewood in hopes of rebuilding in as little as six months.

"They're just really grateful for the way the community has come around and right alongside them. At the same time, it hurts to lose everything," Heikes said.

The Pedernales Fire Department is in need of some equipment to continue to keep the fire contained.
