Vineyard is NOT in a CAL FIRE State Responsibility Area (SRA) or designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ). Sacramento Metro Fire enforces weed abatement and defensible space under SCC Ch. 17.12.
CAL FIRE's State Responsibility Area (SRA) maps and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) maps do not designate Vineyard as a high-risk fire zone. However, Sacramento Metro Fire's annual weed abatement program (916-859-4327) applies countywide, with parcel-specific inspections starting June 1 each year. Grass/weeds must be cut to 4 inches or less. The 2022 CAL FIRE FHSZ map update added some adjacent unincorporated areas to moderate risk but Vineyard itself remained outside designated zones.
Failure to abate: Notice to Abate from Metro Fire, then forced abatement at owner's tax-bill expense (typical $500-$2,500).
