Community Wildfire Preparedness

Protect Your Home and Community

The Riverside Fire Department is dedicated to helping residents prepare for and reduce the dangers of wildfires. This resource provides essential information on fire hazard severity zones, defensible space requirements, emergency alerts, and wildfire prevention programs.

Take proactive steps to protect your home, understand local fire regulations, and stay prepared before, during, and after a wildfire. Preparedness saves lives and property—explore the available tools, programs, and guidelines to help safeguard your family, home, and community from wildfire risks.

Starting in Spring 2026, the City of Riverside will begin wildfire safety inspections in designated hazard zones. These inspections may include property visits and helpful guidance to support residents. The goal is simple: keeping our neighborhoods fire safe year-round.
