LAMORINDA WEEKLY | MOFD designated by California Board of Forestry


Fire Risk Reduction Community by the Board of Forestry

Moraga, CA -In accordance with Public Resource Code 4290.1, every two years the California Board of Forestry designates select areas for inclusion in the Fire Risk Reduction Community List as "a list of local agencies located in a state responsibility area or a very high fire hazard severity zone...that meet best practices for local fire planning." In recognition of the work done by our community, MOFD (Moraga-Orinda Fire District) was included in the inaugural list in 2022 and has been included in the latest list published this week.

Of note, the Fire Risk Reduction Community List is one of the steps recommended by the California Department of Insurance Safer From Wildfires framework.

MOFD wishes to thank the community for their support of wildfire risk reduction measures and encourage all members of our community to do their part by complying with our exterior hazard abatement ordinances 23-03 and 23-08.
