What is the Moraga Orinda Fire District?

The Moraga Orinda Fire District Exterior Hazard Control Ordinance is designed to minimize fire danger by controlling the density and arrangement of hazardous vegetation. The goal is to maintain trees and vegetation that benefit a property while removing combustible material and hazardous vegetation that provides a fuel source for wildfire. This defensible space also aids our firefighters by giving them a tactical advantage in stopping a fire and saving lives and property. Everyone must comply with fire code requirements to maintain their properties by removing all combustible material and hazardous vegetation that increases the risk of wildfire. Please refer to this webpage for additional information. If you have further questions, contact Fire District staff by emailing questions to [email protected] or calling 925-258-4599.
