Board of Forestry and Fire Protection
In response to the increased frequency and intensity of wildfires in California over the last decade, the Legislature passed AB 3074 (2020)External Link and SB 504 (2024)External Link, making changes to Public Resource Code 4291External Link. These changes require the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (Board) to establish an ember-resistant defensible zone the first 5 feet around a structure, referred to as Zone 0.  Governor Newsom’s Executive Order N-18-25 requires that the Board complete rulemaking for Zone 0 no later than December 31, 2025.
