Fire departments are fighting an increased number of fires along the Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), which is defined as areas where homes are built near or among lands prone to wildland fire. The City of Corona has approximately 3000 structures located in the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone (VHFHSZ) and just over 14,000 structures within one-half mile of this zone.
In 2010, the City of Corona Council approved Ordinance No. 3034, amending Chapter 15.16 of the Corona Municipal Code delegating authority to the Fire Chief to designate Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) by map. The map titled “City of Corona Corona Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone in LRA” is retained on file in the City Geographic Information System and in the Office of the City’s Fire Marshal.
All new construction within a Wildland Urban Interface Fire Area shall meet construction requirements as set forth in Chapter 7A of the most current adopted California Building Code (CBC).
