New Zone 0 Regulations
Assembly Bill 3074 requires the California State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection to develop rules on what homeowners in high wildfire risk areas can keep in a 5-foot zone—also called “zone zero” adjacent to their homes. Research and post-fire analyses found that the vast majority of homes burn during wildfires due to accumulation of embers, which winds often carry far ahead of the flames. Embers are often the source of ignition for combustible material within 5 feet of the structure.
