Natural Hazard Disclosure (Fire) maps show the two types of fire hazard areas referred to in legislation as disclosure items in real estate transactions. These areas are:

WILDLAND AREAS THAT MAY CONTAIN SUBSTANTIAL FOREST FIRE RISKS AND HAZARDS (WILDLAND AREAS)

VERY HIGH FIRE HAZARD SEVERITY ZONES (VHFHSZ)

The following chart indicates whether individual counties contain either type of area. Wildland Areas are the same as SRA (State Responsibility Area), and VHFHSZ areas are also known as 'Bates Bill' areas.
