San Clemente Updates Very High Fire Risk Zones Map
San Clemente City Council voted 5-0 to revise the map designating very high fire hazard areas. The updated boundaries follow a California Forestry and Fire Protection analysis that shifts some zones and adds others near San Juan Capistrano Talega and Camp Pendleton. Building official Mike Jorgensen notes new homes in these zones require fire resistant features, while insurance effects remain unclear. fswegles ocregister.com or 949-492-5127
