Residents of Berkeley,CA, endorse the cutting down of hundreds of trees to avoid repeat a repeat "of the 1991 fire, which killed 25 people and destroyed more than 3,200 homes in Oakland and Berkeley." The project is jointly funded by the University of California, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state Office of Emergency Services.
