In this episode, we continue exploring where California’s Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones (VHFHSZ) intersect with Los Angeles neighborhoods. This time we visit Brentwood, where residential communities sit along the base of the Santa Monica Mountains.

Using the official CAL FIRE hazard maps as a reference, this video shows how wildfire hazard zones extend into parts of Brentwood where development meets hillside terrain and canyon areas leading into the mountains. In many places, the transition between dense neighborhood streets and wildfire-prone landscape happens within just a few blocks.

As we drive through the area, we point out real-world examples of conditions that Zone Zero standards are designed to address. Many homes in Brentwood include landscaping, fencing, and outdoor features built long before wildfire mitigation practices became widely understood.

Along the route we highlight common elements that can increase ignition risk during ember-driven wildfires, including wood fencing attached to structures, combustible landscaping materials near homes, and other features located within the first five feet of buildings.

Topics covered include:

• Where the VHFHSZ boundary appears in Brentwood
• How wildfire hazard zones intersect with neighborhoods near the Santa Monica Mountains
• Why canyon and hillside areas face increased ember exposure
• Examples of landscaping and fencing conditions that could be affected by Zone Zero regulations
• What homeowners in hillside-adjacent communities should understand as wildfire mitigation standards evolve

Brentwood illustrates how wildfire risk extends into established Los Angeles neighborhoods where urban development meets mountain terrain.
