BPG Home Warranty

A State Fire Responsibility Area is generally defined as lands exclusive of cities and federal lands, regardless of ownership, which are classified by the State Board of Forestry as areas in which the primary financial responsibility for preventing and suppressing fire is that of the State (see Public Resources Code Sections 4102, 4125).

These zones may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards, as designated by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, pursuant to Section 4125 of the Public Resources Code. The owner of this property is subject to the maintenance requirements of Section 4291 of the Public Resources Code.

Except for property located within a county assuming responsibility for prevention of fires, the seller must also disclose that it is not the State's responsibility to provide fire protection services to any building or structure located within the wildlands area unless the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has entered into a cooperative agreement with a local agency pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 4142.
