CAL FIRE Updates Fire Hazard Severity Maps; Much of Crestmoor Neighborhood Rated at Very High Risk

CAL FIRE and the state Fire Marshal released the 2nd Phase of our local Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps. 125 cities and counties along the North Coast and Bay Area including San Bruno received all three levels of fire hazard severity.

You can view the report directly as shared by the San Bruno Fire Department here: https://bit.ly/41CdkAM

You can also zoom in on your neighborhood using an nteractive map here: https://fire-hazard-severity-zones-rollout-calfire-forestry.hub.arcgis.com/pages/access-map



Key Takeaways (courtesy San Bruno Fire Department): Properties are categorized as Moderate, High, or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones based on terrain, vegetation, fire history, and climate conditions. The maps indicate hazard potential, not immediate risk, and do not account for mitigation efforts like defensible space or fire-resistant construction.

Property owners in Very High FHSZ must comply with stringent defensible space and home hardening requirements.100-foot defensible space clearance is mandatory around structures in these zones. New construction and renovations in designated zones must adhere to Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) building codes. Property sellers must disclose FHSZ designations during real estate transactions.

There will be much more info to come in the coming weeks; no immediate action is required yet and I'll provide updates in future newsletters as we learn more. Comments on the new maps can be sent to fireprevention@sanbruno.ca.gov
