"Zinn Drive, Oakland hills "Fire Trail" more a fire hazard than protection from fire.
On a recent walk on this trail which runs between Asilomar and Drake streets and connects two sections of Zinn Drive in the Oakland hills, I was horrified to see that at least 13 trees have fallen near to or above either side of the fire trail. Some of those close to the trail have been cut up , but all parts (trunks, small branches with leaves and larger branches ) were left behind, with some blocking a natural water drainage area & trail through the canyon area, creating a fire hazard rather than a fire prevention or fire fighting area. The upper portion of the fire trail off Asilomar has been so damaged by water runoff, that it would be impossible for a firetruck to pass down it and very difficult for a fireman with his equipment to walk down it. Please sign the attached
petition at the end of this message so something can be done to help prevent a disaster in our hills! My apologies for a previous message which did not contain the correct petition posting. Most Recent Signers Mary-Beth Provencal from Oakland, CA Oct 20, 2018
