After hearing testimony from Ventura County Fire Department Chief Dustin Gardner, Dr. Betsy Connolly, and me, the county Board of Supervisors today voted unanimously to approve supervisor Gorell’s resolution calling for more flexibility on proposed Zone 0 fire regulations.
The new rules could take effect as soon as January, and could require removal of all vegetation and trees near structures in high-risk areas. The resolution urges the state to take a more flexible and localized approach to wildfire preparedness.
