The California Conservation Corps operates more than two dozen wildland firefighting hand crews. Fire hand crews operate at 15 CCC locations across California.
The CCC Wildland Firefighter Program offers Corpsmembers the opportunity to get paid while they train, earn certificates, and get hands-on experience on local and major wildland fires.
The CCC partners with CAL FIRE and the federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to operate wildland firefighting hand crews. Corpsmembers work with CAL FIRE captains and BLM crew bosses to build fire breaks with hand tools and chain saws to slow and stop the spread of wildfires.

This is What We Do

Safeguarding California through fire prevention and protection, emergency response, and stewardship of natural resource systems

All-Hazard Response

We are on the scene for floods, fires, earthquakes, medical aid, hazardous materials spills, search and rescue missions, and other disasters.

We answer the call

Initial Attack
Our Fire Protection services operate throughout the State with responsibility for over 31 million acres of California's privately-owned wildlands. Initial attack aircraft can reach even the most remote corners of California within 20 minutes, with the goal of keeping 95% of fires contained at 10 acres or less.

Fire Hazard Severity Zones | OSFM
The State Fire Marshal is mandated to classify lands within State Responsibility Areas into Fire Hazard Severity Zones (FHSZ). Fire Hazard Severity Zones fall into one of the following classifications:

Moderate
High
Very High

The California laws that require Fire Hazard Severity Zones include California Public Resources Code 4201-4204, California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 1280 and California Government Code 51175-89. 

Frequently Asked Question
FAQ Document (PDF)
FAQ Document (PDF) (Spanish)

 Explore Fire Hazard Severity Zones

The Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) maps are developed using a science-based and field-tested model that assigns a hazard score based on the factors that influence fire likelihood and fire behavior. Many factors are considered such as fire history, existing and potential fuel (natural vegetation), predicted flame length, blowing embers, terrain, and typical fire weather for the area. There are three levels of hazard in the State Responsibility Areas: moderate, high, and very high. 
Fire Hazard Severity Zone maps evaluate “hazard,” not “risk”. They are like flood zone maps, where lands are described in terms of the probability level of a particular area being inundated by floodwaters, and not specifically prescriptive of impacts. “Hazard” is based on the physical conditions that create a likelihood and expected fire behavior over a 30 to 50-year period without considering mitigation measures such as home hardening, recent wildfire, or fuel reduction efforts. “Risk” is the potential damage a fire can do to the area under existing conditions, accounting for any modifications such as fuel reduction projects, defensible space, and ignition resistant building construction.

 Definitions
 

Vegetation: Fire hazard considers the potential vegetation over a 30- to 50- year time horizon. Vegetation is “fuel” for a wildfire and it may vary over time.
Topography: Fire typically burns more quickly and intensely up steep slopes.
Climate: Fire moves faster and is more intense under hot, dry, and windy conditions.
Crown Fire Potential: Under extreme conditions, fires burn to the top of trees and tall brush.
Ember production and movement: Burning embers, known as firebrands, spread fire ahead of the flame front and can ignite buildings up to a mile away from  the main fire.
Fire History: Past fire occurrence of an area over several decades

2024 Fire Year Outlook
Despite the current above-average snowpack and early spring storms, transitioning sea surface temperatures may lead to drier weather. Recent rainfall has temporarily reduced the risk of large fires, keeping it at average or below-average levels for the next few months.
Home Page - Cal MyHazards
These areas, or "zones," are based on factors such as fuel (material that can burn),
 slope and the expected chance of burning. There are three zones, based on increasing fire hazard... Moderate (M), High (H) and Very High (VH)

 How to protect yourself from wildfires
 

Wildfire Hazard Preparedness

 For those living with wildfire hazards start protecting your property by creating 100 feet of
 "defensible space" around your structures. This includes removing all flammable vegetation and debris
 within 30 feet immediately surrounding your home, and, creating a "reduced fuel zone" that extends 70 feet
 beyond that.
 

 Next, you can use "ignition resistant" materials in your construction, and make sure you have well
 marked access to your property and an emergency water supply.
 

 For many more tips on keeping your property fire safe see the Fire Safety web page from Cal Fire by clicking the link below.
 

 Cal Fire Safety
 

Flood Risk

 Floods are one of the most common hazards in the United States.
 Flood effects can be local, impacting a neighborhood or community, or very large, affecting entire river basins and multiple states.
 

 However, all floods are not alike. Some floods develop slowly, sometimes over a period of days. But flash floods can develop quickly,
 sometimes in just a few minutes and without any visible signs of rain. Flash floods often have a dangerous wall of roaring water
 that carries rocks, mud, and other debris and can sweep away most things in its path. Overland flooding occurs outside a defined
 river or stream, such as when a levee is breached, but still can be destructive. Flooding can also occur when a dam breaks,
 producing effects similar to flash floods.
 

 Be aware of flood hazards no matter where you live, but especially if you live in a low-lying area, near water or downstream from
 a dam. Even very small streams, gullies, creeks, culverts, dry streambeds, or low-lying ground that appear harmless in dry weather
 can flood. Every state is at risk from this hazard.
