Fire Risk Reduction Community List

The Fire Risk Reduction Community List, as mandated by PRC 4290.1, is "a list of local agencies located in a state responsibility area or a very high fire hazard severity zone...that meet best practices for local fire planning." The List is developed and maintained by the Board, with the first iteration beginning July 1, 2022 and updated every two years thereafter. 

Details of list eligibility and the application process can be found in 14 CCR 1268.00-1268.04.

For more information on the List and its use, including by the Fire Prevention Grants Program, please see these FAQs. Please send any questions not addressed in the FAQs to LandUsePlanning@bof.ca.gov.
