This letter to the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection comments on the April 7, 2025 draft Zone 0 defensible space regulations, arguing that scientific literature does not support complete vegetation elimination in Zone 0 and that healthy, well-maintained vegetation may actually protect structures by intercepting embers and resisting ignition due to high moisture content. The author critiques the regulatory process for lacking adequate scientific input and questions the methodology of recent studies used to support the proposed rules.

Palisades Fire 2025MinutesPolicy & Advocacy
The Palisades Forestry Committee submitted comments to the California Board of Forestry and Fire Protection opposing the proposed Zone 0 defensible space regulations, arguing that scientific evidence from the January 2025 Palisades wildfire demonstrates that healthy, irrigated trees provided fire protection and that removing vegetation poses greater risk than maintaining ember-resistant landscaping. The committee advocates for a balanced, science-based approach that preserves fire-resistant native vegetation rather than the proposed near-total clearing of trees and shrubs.
