Votes at a glance: Fire Commission adopts 2025 local responsibility fire-hazard map; routine minutes approved, closed-session motion carried

The San Francisco Fire Commission took three recorded actions on May 14, 2025: it approved minutes from the April 23, 2025 meeting, adopted the state-updated 2025 Local Responsibility Area (LRA) fire hazard severity map for the city'9s local areas, and voted to enter a closed session on pending litigation matters and subsequently voted not to disclose any closed-session discussion.

Approval of minutes: The commission voted to approve the minutes from the April 23, 2025 meeting. Participants recorded on the roll call included President Marcy Frasier and others; the motion carried.

Adoption of LRA fire hazard severity zones: The commission voted to accept the 2025 local responsibility area fire hazard severity zones as posted by the Office of the Fire Marshal. The state had updated maps that classify areas as very high, high or moderate fire hazard based on climate data, fire history and topology; the state requires local adoption within 120 days. Recorded votes in the public roll call show President Frasier and Vice President Paula Collins voting in the affirmative; the motion passed.

Closed session: The commission voted to convene closed session under California Government Code section 54956.9 (existing and anticipated litigation) and San Francisco Administrative Code section 67.10(d). After the closed session, the commission voted unanimously not to disclose any discussion from closed session under San Francisco Administrative Code section 67.12(a). The public minutes state there was no reportable action from the closed session.

The commission did not adopt any ordinance or change statute during this meeting; the LRA map adoption is an acknowledgement required by state mapping and does not itself change municipal code. No further formal actions were taken on the station-relocation discussion or EMS reorganizations presented in departmental reports.
