California is years behind in implementing a law to make homes more fire resistant
- California lawmakers passed new requirements in 2020 for clearing combustible materials within 5 feet of homes in risky areas, but regulations are still not written as of 2025.
- The Board of Forestry and Fire Protection has no firm timeline for completing the regulations, delaying implementation.
- Existing homes would have three years to comply with the new rules once adopted, but it is unclear how many homes could have been saved.
- Some cities and homeowners are voluntarily adopting practices to comply with the Zone Zero requirements, which aim to protect homes from wildfires.
