Fire Hazard Severity Zone Exclusion

Per California Government Code 51178, the Office of the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) is charged with creating maps to identify levels of fire hazard within the state. The OSFM utilizes fire scientists, and wildfire mitigation experts, to develop maps using a science-based and field-tested model that assigns a hazard score based on the factors that influence fire likelihood and fire behavior. We are happy to announce that after the most recent state survey, West Sacramento was notified by the State Fire Marshal that we do not have any areas within our city that would be classified as a Fire Hazard Severity Zone of any category.
