Euclid is not in a designated wildfire hazard zone. Ohio does not use California-style WUI mapping, and Euclid is a fully built-out urban Lake Erie shoreline city with no wildland-urban interface classification.
Ohio does not maintain a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zoning system equivalent to California Government Code §51175-51189 or Cal Fire's Fire Hazard Severity Zones. Euclid, a Cleveland inner-ring suburb along Lake Erie in Cuyahoga County, falls entirely under the Ohio Fire Code (Ohio Administrative Code §1301:7-7), which adopts the 2017 International Fire Code with state amendments. The Euclid Fire Department enforces the fire code citywide. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry (ORC §1503) oversees wildfire prevention on state forest lands and issues statewide open-burn rules at OAC §1501:3-17, but Euclid's urban footprint has no meaningful wildland interface. Chapter 7A-style California WUI construction requirements do not exist. Open burning is highly restricted under Euclid Codified Ordinances §521 and Ohio EPA open-burning rules at OAC §3745-19. Property-maintenance vegetation rules under Euclid's Property Maintenance Code (ECO §1331) require owners to keep lots free of rank grasses and weeds above 8 inches, enforced by the Euclid Housing Department.
Euclid open-burning violation under ECO §521: misdemeanor, up to $250 fine first offense. Ohio EPA OAC §3745-19 civil penalty: up to $25,000/day for prohibited open burning. Weeds/vegetation above 8 inches under ECO §1331: administrative abatement notice plus charge-back of city mowing cost; unpaid fees become a tax lien.
