Red Bluff Fire Department Fire Chief Mike Bachmeyer told us what the Fire Hazard Severity Zone updates are looking like for Red Bluff.

For the first time in more than a decade, Cal Fire is reassessing wildfire risk in Bay Area cities. New fire hazard severity maps show dramatic increases in some areas of Sonoma and Napa counties and around San Jose.

Cal Fire added more than 360,000 acres in coastal Northern California to its fire hazard zones where heightened fire safety regulations will apply. New Southern California maps come out March 24.
