CALFIRE:
"2026 State Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Severity Zone
Public Comment Period Now Open
Sacramento, CA — CAL FIRE – Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) today announced the opening of the public comment period for the regulatory adoption of the 2026 State Responsibility Area (SRA) Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ). The comment period will run from November 9, 2026, through January 8, 2027, at 5:00 PM.
The 2026 SRA FHSZ update is required because the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (BOF) recently completed its statewide five-year SRA Review, as mandated by Public Resources Code Section 4125. The review identified a small set of changes to the SRA boundary in 34 counties due to shifts in land use, population density, and jurisdictional responsibility."
@ai6yr Oh great. This recommended update moves me into a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. I was just outside that in the past.
