Fire prevention: very high fire hazards.

Existing law requires the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection to identify areas in the state as very high fire hazard severity zones based on consistent statewide criteria and based on the severity of fire hazard that is expected to prevail in those areas. Existing law provides that the purpose of this law relating to the classification of lands is so that public officials are able to identify measures that will delay the rate of spread, and reduce the potential intensity, of uncontrolled fires that threaten to destroy resources, life, or property, and to require that those measures be taken. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to this latter provision relating to the purpose of the law.
