Wildcat Canyon Fire Break

Napa Center Corpsmembers clear brush, weeds and overgrown trees behind homes in El Cerrito as part of a key fire break in the Easy Bay hills.

CCC Napa Center Corpsmembers are clearing overgrown brush and trees; working right up to the fence line of homes to create a fire break that could be a literal lifesaver from wildfire.
