Just recently the state of California and the Office of the State Fire Marshall (OSFM) started to provide updates to the maps showing fire hazard severity zones. Those maps are used by insurance companies to help them determine hazards and risks and ultimately to set homeowners insurance rates. In addition, those maps can help guide homeowners with ensuring that they are taking the proper steps to mitigate the spread of wildfires and reduce risks to their properties.

We encourage homeowners to get educated on fire preparedness and mitigation.
