Moorpark FAQ
Does defensible space apply if my Moorpark home is not on a hillside?
VCFD inspects properties in mapped Hazardous Fire Areas. Many Moorpark neighborhoods adjacent to open space qualify, but flat interior tracts may not. Check VCFD's Ventura County hazard map.
Can I keep ornamental plants in Zone 1?
Yes, if they are well-irrigated, pruned, and free of dead material. Avoid juniper, eucalyptus, and resinous conifers within 30 feet of any structure.
