As California faces increasing wildfire risks, state lawmakers and fire safety officials are advocating for expedited fire safety regulations. These new measures aim to enhance building codes, incorporate fire-resistant materials, and strengthen defensible space requirements.

For homeowners and builders, this push for safety means adapting to stricter standards—but also ensuring long-term property protection. At Addition Building & Design, Inc., we prioritize fire-resilient construction by integrating innovative materials and smart design solutions.

What Are the New Fire Safety Measures?

The proposed regulations focus on:

• Fire-Resistant Materials – Homes in wildfire zones may soon be required to use non-combustible roofing, siding, and decking.
• Enhanced Defensible Space – Stricter requirements for vegetation clearance and fire-resistant landscaping.
• Stronger Building Codes – Improvements to home design to minimize fire spread, such as ember-resistant vents and multi-pane windows.

The Impact on Homeowners and Builders

While these changes may increase initial building costs, they provide long-term benefits:
✅ Lower insurance premiums
✅ Increased home value
