Revised Fire Safe Regulations Proposal Public Comment Period Begins

On Wednesday, the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection (BOF) released its revised Fire Safe Regulations proposal for a 15-day public comment period. The modified text is significantly narrowed from the previous version discussed in January, largely limiting its focus to those specific items outlined in Senate Bill 901 (Chapter 626, Statutes of 2018), such as development requirements for fuel breaks; greenbelts; and ridgelines. To be considered by the BOF as part of the formal rulemaking record, comments must be received by the Board no later than May 27, 2022.
