Roseville has limited VHFHSZ areas primarily along open space corridors and eastern city edges near Sierra foothill grasslands. Dry summer conditions create seasonal fire risk. Defensible space required in mapped hazard zones.
Roseville sits at the transition between the Sacramento Valley floor and the Sierra foothills, with limited but notable Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone areas along open space corridors and the eastern city boundary. Dry summer heat with temperatures regularly exceeding 100 degrees creates seasonal grassland fire risk. Properties in mapped VHFHSZ areas must maintain 100-foot defensible space per PRC 4291 and comply with Chapter 7A building standards. The Roseville Fire Department conducts annual vegetation inspections in fire-prone areas. New development in western Roseville incorporates fire-resistant landscaping and building design.
Defensible space non-compliance: notice and fines. Building code violations in fire zones: stop-work orders. Fire caused by negligence: civil and criminal liability.
