The Office of the State Fire Marshal has extended the deadline for public comments on the recently-released State Responsibility Area (SRA) Fire Hazard Severity Maps to April 4, 2023, a 60-day extension of the previous deadline. The maps represent the first update in 15 years and indicate a dramatic shift in fire hazard severity for several communities in the SRA. The maps are intended to inform state and local decisions on planning and deployment of wildfire mitigation resources, with local responsibility area (LRA) maps expected to follow once the SRA maps are finalized.
