The state Board of Forestry and Fire Protection will be holding several public hearings across California to hear feedback on proposed maps of the State Responsibility Area, or SRA.
The hearings are part of the board’s deliberative process in adopting changes to the SRA.
California Public Resources Code 4125 requires the Board of Forestry and Fire Protection to classify all lands in California to determine financial responsibility for preventing and suppressing wildfires.
The new plan would add 4,729 acres to the SRA statewide.
In Lake County, the proposed changes would add 253 acres to the SRA in the Upper Lake area.
The schedule is as follows:
Redding City Council Chambers
777 Cypress Ave., Redding
Feb. 26 – 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
San Diego DGS Building
1350 Front St., San Diego
Feb. 27 – 1 to 6:30 p.m.
Natural Resources Auditorium
1416 Ninth St., Sacramento
March 4 – 9:30 a.m.
