San Bernardino County residents who are concerned about increases in their fire insurance rates can submit written comments to CalFire through August 9.

The comments are in relation to the new Fire Hazard Severity Zone map that has led to several zones being updated.

The new map has the potential to determine fire insurance rates and possibly subject residents to a brush clearance program that costs $100 per inspection. 

Submit your comments to FHSZcomments@fire.ca.gov

For more data and information on these fire hazard severity zones, please view the fire hazard zone maps.
