The State Fire Marshal is responsible for identifying moderate, high, and very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. As part of this requirement, CAL FIRE has made recommendations for Local Responsibility Areas (LRA). All State Responsibility Areas were addressed in 2024.
Notice is hereby given that the FHSZ LRA map is available for public review and comment beginning on April 8, 2025, in accordance with California Government Code Section 51178.5. You can view the map via the link below or at Fire Headquarters, located at 10500 Civic Center Drive, Rancho Cucamonga during normal business hours.
Please note that state law prohibits the Fire District from assigning a fire hazard severity zone that is less restrictive than the one recommended by the State Fire Marshal. A local agency can make additions to or increase the level of the LRA FHSZ recommended by the State Fire Marshal. The Rancho Cucamonga Fire District is not proposing any additions or increases in the LRA FHSZ during this adoption process.
If you would like to submit a public comment related to the adoption of the fire hazard severity zones in the jurisdiction of Rancho Cucamonga Fire, you can email RCFire@cityofrc.us.
