After hearing testimony from Ventura County Fire Department Chief Dustin Gardner, Dr. Betsy Connolly, and me, the county Board of Supervisors today voted unanimously to approve supervisor Gorell’s resolution calling for more flexibility on proposed Zone 0 fire regulations.
The new rules could take effect as soon as January, and could require removal of all vegetation and trees near structures in high-risk areas. The resolution urges the state to take a more flexible and localized approach to wildfire preparedness.

CALFIRE: Research suggests that creating a noncombustible buffer of five feet around your home can significantly improve the likelihood that it survives a wildfire. Creating a combustible-free Zone 0 that extends a minimum of five feet from each structure or, if applicable, an attached deck reduces the chance of wind-blown embers or radiant heat spreading the fire to your home. Remove bark and replace wood fencing and other potential fuel for sparks with noncombustible alternatives.
