Fire History
Sacramento County's fire risk is primarily concentrated in its eastern foothill communities where the Sacramento Valley meets the Sierra Nevada foothills. The county's extensive valley floor areas have very limited FHSZ exposure. The Cosumnes River area in the eastern county experiences periodic fire events. Communities east of Elk Grove and in the Rancho Murieta area have the most significant fire exposure of any Sacramento County communities.
Local Compliance Notes
Sacramento County Fire and CAL FIRE Amador-El Dorado Unit share jurisdiction depending on location. The county's FHSZ exposure is limited primarily to its eastern foothill areas.
