Zone Zero in Lompoc: the valley city, honestly bounded

What the ember-resistant zone rules mean for this city, under the actual designation and the actual fire authority.

Quick answer: Lompoc is served by the Lompoc Fire Department as the local fire authority, with a Very High (zones confirmed within the city) standing on this site. Zone Zero requires an ember-resistant zone in the first 0 to 5 feet around structures in the mapped Very High areas, with the combustible-fence restriction taking effect immediately upon adoption of the final regulations.

The local snapshot

Where Lompoc stands

Lompoc, the valley city famous for its flower fields and its fog, is confirmed to contain Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones within its boundaries, served by its own independent city fire department. We deliberately stop the claim there: our sourcing confirms the zones exist but not their exact neighborhood boundaries, and rather than guess at streets we point you to the definitive answer, which is your specific parcel's designation. Zone Zero (Zone 0) applies within whatever zones your parcel falls in.

The local record

Confirmed zones, honestly bounded

No defining wildfire appears in this project's verified record for Lompoc, and none is invented here. The city's fire context is the general one shared by hillside-adjacent North County: chaparral slopes above a valley floor, seasonal winds, and a 2025 remap that read the terrain more strictly than its predecessors. What we can state with confidence is the two-part honest version: Very High zones are confirmed within the city, and their exact neighborhood breakdown requires the city's own mapping rather than this site's summary. The free parcel check resolves your address definitively, and the Lompoc Fire Department is the authority whose adopted specifics apply.

Deadlines pages carry the state defaults; your jurisdiction sets the specifics, and this page names yours.
