San Leandro has minimal wildfire exposure. The vast majority of the city is outside CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zones, with only eastern hillside edges mapped.
CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps show San Leandro largely as non-VHFHSZ. The flat urbanized core has no mapped wildfire hazard zones. A narrow band along the eastern hillside near Lake Chabot touches Moderate or High zones under the 2024 updated LRA maps. Homes in those edge areas should comply with defensible space rules and Chapter 7A building standards for new construction. Insurance carriers increasingly use ZIP-level risk scoring regardless of CAL FIRE mapping.
