From the CA Board of Forestry and Fire Protection: In response to the Governor’s Executive Order, N-18-25, the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection will be holding a public workshop to discuss changes to California’s Defensible Space regulations.
AB 3074 (2020) directs the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection to develop regulations to establish a 0-5 foot “ember-resistant zone” adding to the existing two-zone defensible space system that requires fuel and vegetation management around structures in two concentric areas 0-30 and 30-100 feet. The public is invited to inform the Board of your support, concerns and input. The regulations are anticipated to be completed by the end of 2025.
The Zone 0 workshop will be held on March 4, 2025, 1:00-5:00pm, The California Natural Resources Agency, 715 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814. This workshop will have both an in-person and virtual option.
Both in-person and virtual attendees are encouraged to let us know you will be in attendance by filling out this registration form. This form will assist us in determining the number of people who will want to participate in the workshop. Filing out this form is voluntary.
