The revisions will introduce increased fire safety regulations across more than 377,000 acres, and plans to expand 'very high' and 'high' hazard zones by approximately 1.4 million acres. Truckee and Chico saw the most significant increases, while Placerville experienced a slight decrease in hazard zones. The updates also initiate a public input phase for local jurisdictions, aiding in the adoption of these new regulations.
