Brush Clearance Ordinance in High Fire Hazard Severity Zones

As the risk of fire is a concern in Los Angeles, so our level of caution rises: all it takes is one spark to start a potentially devastating fire. Please follow these important tips for how and when to conduct your brush clearance.

The ordinance includes a ban on metal weed whackers, and also new requirements for brush clearance in Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ), including that brush clearance cannot be conducted during red flag days, and that proper extinguishing agents be nearby during brush clearance, and others. It also creates new penalties for violations.
