Vallejo Highlights Updated Fire Hazard Severity Zones and Wildfire Preparedness
Hey everyone, let’s talk about something really important today—wildfire preparedness in Vallejo. As we all know, California has been facing increasing wildfire risks, and staying informed is key to keeping our communities safe. That’s why the City of Vallejo, along with the Vallejo Fire Department, is making sure residents are aware of the latest updates from CAL FIRE regarding Fire Hazard Severity Zones.
So, what’s new? CAL FIRE has revised its Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps using the latest scientific data and advanced fire behavior models. These updates help pinpoint which areas are at higher risk of wildfires, allowing communities to take necessary precautions.
Interim Fire Chief Arthur Gonzales emphasized the importance of understanding these new zones. By being aware of where our homes and businesses stand in terms of fire risk, we can take proactive steps to reduce potential damage and enhance our preparedness for wildfire threats.

The good news for Vallejo? The updated maps classify certain areas in the city as moderate severity zones, but there are no areas designated as high or very high fire hazard severity. That means, for now, there won’t be any changes to existing building codes or defensible space regulations. Still, it’s always a good idea to stay vigilant and prepared.
To make it easier for residents, the City of Vallejo is encouraging everyone to check their property’s fire hazard designation by visiting CAL FIRE’s website or Vallejo’s Local Responsibility Area Fire Hazard Maps page. This will help homeowners and business owners understand what level of risk their properties face and what steps they should take to stay safe.
Beyond just checking maps, Vallejo officials are urging the community to get involved. There will be upcoming meetings and preparedness workshops designed to educate residents on wildfire safety, prevention strategies, and emergency response plans. Participating in these events is a great way to ensure you and your family are ready for any fire-related emergency.
Wildfire preparedness is a shared responsibility, and it’s great to see Vallejo taking proactive measures to keep its residents informed and safe. Whether it’s staying updated on hazard zones, creating defensible space around homes, or attending local preparedness meetings, every little effort counts. Let’s continue to stay aware, prepared, and resilient against wildfire threats!
Stay safe, Vallejo!
