Fires are a serious problem in Southern California. In an effort to reduce the threat of wild fires, the San Bernardino County Fire Hazard Abatement (FHA) Program enforces the fire hazard requirements outlined in San Bernardino County Code Section 23.0301–23.0319. The primary function of the Fire Hazard Abatement Program is to reduce the risk of fires within communities by pro-actively establishing defensible space and reduction/removal of flammable materials on properties.
The Fire Hazard Abatement Program conducts surveys to identify weeds and other fire hazards throughout the year. Fire hazards are identified and notices to abate the hazard(s) are mailed to property owners. Property owners are given 30 days to abate the violations. Failure to abate may result in enforcement fees and recovery of costs for contractor/County crew clean-up. Failure to abate may result in enforcement fees and recovery of costs for contractor/County crew clean-up. Additionally, the Fire Hazard Abatement Program responds to complaints year round in the unincorporated areas and contracting Cities and Fire Districts. The services are as follows:
- Valley and Desert Regions get two surveys per year: the first survey occurs in the spring and the second survey starts in the fall.
- Mountain Regions receive one survey in the summer.
Fire Hazard Abatement is an important component in keeping our communities safe and minimizing the devastating effects of wild fires within our communities.
