Nassau County has no designated wildland-urban interface (WUI) or wildfire hazard severity zones. Unlike California or the western US, Nassau does not maintain a wildfire zone map. Fire risk is addressed through standard building codes and property maintenance rather than WUI-specific requirements.
New York does not have a state-level WUI classification system comparable to CAL FIRE's zones. The nearest Long Island wildfire-prone area is the Central Pine Barrens in Suffolk County, not Nassau. Nassau's dense suburban development, hydrant infrastructure, and professional/volunteer fire response coverage make wildfire a minimal residential concern. Standard NY Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code (19 NYCRR Part 1200+) applies.
