    Public SafetyMinutesWildfire Prevention

    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.
