County fire outlines inspections and enforcement pathway for Los Altos Hills wildfire zones
Summary
Santa Clara County Fire briefed the Los Altos Hills EPRC on a program of three-year cycle inspections beginning April 1 across fire-hazard zones; county will identify violations and forward unresolved very-high-zone cases to county weed abatement or the local fire district for enforcement. The district reported roughly 1,600 properties will be inspected in Los Altos Hills.
Santa Clara County Fire told the Los Altos Hills Environmental Protection and Resource Committee on Feb. 3 that it will begin inspections of properties in designated fire-hazard severity zones on a three-year cycle, with field work starting April 1.
Chief Davis, the county presenter, said the county will seek to inspect all properties identified in the mapping system, noting: "So whether they're very high, high, or moderate, we're going to inspect everybody."
