The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) has released revised maps identifying fire hazard severity zones throughout the state, and the designations of certain areas in Beverly Hills have changed.
The new maps—which label regions in the state as moderate, high or very high fire hazard severity zones—designate approximately 260 additional acres of Beverly Hills as very high, according to Jim McDougald, Assistant Deputy Director, Cal Fire Community Wildfire Planning and Risk Reduction.
