An address lookup for California fire hazard severity zones and recorded wildfire history.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-02 issue.

For: California residents checking local wildfire exposure
Worth noticing: It distinguishes four hazard classes and lists wildfire perimeters mapped by CAL FIRE since 1878.

Field notes

The page separates fire hazard severity from wildfire history: the former is described through vegetation, slope, and ember travel, while the latter uses mapped fire perimeters. It lists four hazard classes and dates both state and local maps. The homepage identifies its CAL FIRE sources and explicitly says the site is independent, advising visitors to confirm results with the relevant agency or local government.
