*CalFire Updates Fire Hazard Severity Zone Maps* 

CalFire and the California State Fire Marshal have released updated Recommended Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps for Local Responsibility Areas throughout the State of California. Typically updated every ten years, the 2025 maps classify lands within local jurisdictions as moderate, high, or very high fire hazard severity zones using the latest data on fuels, fire history, weather, terrain, and other relevant factors.

State law requires Los Angeles County to adopt the recommended maps by ordinance within 120 days of their issuance. The LA County Board of Supervisors, Fire Department, and CalFire encourage residents to review and comment on the proposed maps. Details about how to comment will follow soon. For more information and to review the maps, click here [ https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/5065c998b4b0462f9ec3c6c226c610a9/page/Compare-old-and-new-LRA-FHSZ?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term= ] or on the image below.
