The State Board of Forestry and Fire Protection has published the
newest version of their
Fire Safe Regulations, which was revised to account for the
last round of public comment. The new draft has been
significantly amended, with a much narrower scope than the
January version. The package now focuses more specifically on
development requirements for fuel breaks, greenbelts, and
ridgelines, as outlined in
Senate Bill 901 (Chapter 626, Statutes of 2018).
The new draft is now open for a 15-day public comment period
which will close on Friday, May 27, 2022 at 5pm. CSAC is working
closely with the Rural County Representatives of California
(RCRC) to analyze the language and encourages counties to reach
out to Catherine Freeman (cfreeman@counties.org) with
questions or concerns.
