There are new rules being planned by the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection that are not favorable to our community and may make it difficult to rebuild in certain locations. The rulemaking package entitled “State Minimum Fire Safe Regulations, 2021” was published April 23, 2021 in the California Regulatory Notice Register, triggering a public comment period that ends at the close of the public hearing on June 22, 2021. 

Register to participate in the public hearing on at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday June 22, 2021 here.

Please make your voice heard by submitting comments and concerns to PublicComments@bof.ca.gov.
