Portions of northern Pomona near the foothills are in or near fire hazard severity zones. CalFire maps designate State Responsibility Areas. Defensible space requirements apply per CA PRC Section 4291.
Pomona addresses wildfire risk through hazard zone mapping and defensible space requirements. Properties in designated wildfire hazard areas must maintain cleared zones around structures, typically 30 feet of lean/clean zone and 100 feet of reduced fuel zone. Fire-resistant roofing and siding materials may be required for new construction. Vegetation management includes removing dead plants, trimming tree branches away from structures, and maintaining spacing between shrubs. Ember-resistant vents and enclosed eaves may be required. Local fire departments conduct inspections in high-risk areas.
Defensible space violations: fines $100 to $1,500. Non-compliant construction: required upgrades. Insurance companies may decline coverage in high-risk zones without compliance.
