FireZone checks any California address against the official CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps. Millions of homes across California sit in High or Very High fire hazard zones, where wildfire risk is reshaping home insurance — carriers are non-renewing and surcharging policies, and many owners are pushed onto the California FAIR Plan.

Hardening your home and getting ahead of California's new ember-resistant “Zone 0” standards (AB 3074) makes a property more fire-resilient and easier to insure — and eligible homeowners may qualify for up to $40,000 in state mitigation grants.

Common questions about California fire zones

How do I find out if my California home is in a fire hazard zone?
Enter your address in the checker above for an instant, parcel-level lookup against the official CAL FIRE Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps — it shows whether your property is in a Moderate, High or Very High zone. Or pick your community from the directory below.
Does being in a fire hazard zone affect my home insurance?
Yes. Insurers are non-renewing and surcharging homes in High and Very High fire hazard zones, and many California owners are pushed onto the FAIR Plan. A hardened, more fire-resilient home is easier and cheaper to keep insured.
Can I get help paying for wildfire home-hardening?
Eligible homeowners in High and Very High zones may qualify for up to $40,000 through California's Safe Homes and Wildfire Mitigation programs toward ember-resistant vents, Class A roofs, defensible space and more. Funding is limited and income-qualified.
Which California areas have the highest wildfire risk?
Wildfire hazard concentrates in the wildland-urban interface — foothill and mountain communities across Southern California, the Sierra Nevada and Gold Country, the North Coast and wine country, and the Central Coast. FireZone covers communities across dozens of California counties; find yours below.
