California introduces strict wildfire safety rules for homes
California is set to implement some of the nation's most rigorous wildfire safety regulations for homes, especially targeting regions susceptible to these disasters. Prompted by the extensive damage caused by the Eaton and Palisades Fires, which resulted in the destruction of over 16,000 buildings in Los Angeles, the state is prioritizing the establishment of 'Zone Zero' around residential properties. This critical zone mandates the removal of all vegetation within a five-foot radius of a house to prevent the rapid spread of fires through wind-blown embers.
