CLEAN & CHECK YOUR DEFENSIBLE SPACE:

If you have not yet done so, now is the time to clean and maintain your property.

Regulations pertaining to fire safe clearance on properties within the boundaries of the Ebbetts Pass Fire District originate from two different ordinances and are enforced by two different agencies.

REGULATIONS PERTAINING to IMPROVED PROPERTIES:

Public Resources Code 4291 (PCR 4291) pertaining to defensible space clearance requirements on improved properties (properties with homes or other structures) are enforced by CAL FIRE.

REGULATIONS PERTAINING to UNIMPROVED PROPERTIES:

In order to enhance the effectiveness of the PCR 4291 requirements and add to the safety of our homes, communities and the safety of Firefighters trying to protect homes from wildfires, Ebbetts Pass Fire District Ordinance 2003, Section 11 extends the Reduced Fuel Zone concept to the unimproved (vacant) subdivision parcels or lots that are adjacent to structures.
