Official Agency Directory
Wildfire resources directory.
A curated starting point for locating fire prevention, defensible-space, inspection and community-assistance resources. Agency boundaries and web addresses can change, so confirm the issuing authority for your property.
Who should I contact?
Use the agency named on your notice whenever possible.
Fire-service boundaries do not always follow mailing addresses or city names. This directory is a helpful starting point, not an exhaustive list of every authority. For a property-specific question, begin with the agency identified on your notice, inspection report, tax record or local jurisdiction website.
