The cost to the city of San Diego for last fall's Cedar Fire is much lower than previously thought, according to a report released from City Manager Michael Uberuaga.

A month after the fire, the city submitted a $16 million request for disaster assistance to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's Office of Emergency Services, the report stated Friday.

But, officials from FEMA and OES worked with city departments to refine the requests and determined the actual impact of the fire to be about $6.3 million, 10News reported.

The Cedar Fire destroyed more than 330 structures in the city and burned more than 28,000 acres.
