Reading California Brush Fire Reports

The LOCATION® California Brush Fire Report lets you verify whether a risk is located within a designated hazardous brushfire zone.

Only abbreviated reports are available for this service.

The California Brush Fire Report provides the following information:

Risk Address

The address used to match against the database.

Return Source

Shows whether the match is on an address level or a ZIP-Code level.

California Brush Fire Zone

Identifies if the risk address is located in a brushfire zone.

 If the system cannot match the risk address on the address level, LOCATION attempts to match the address on the ZIP-Code level. If a ZIP-Code match is successful, the report shows up to five of the brushfire zones pertaining to the risk’s ZIP Code (in order from the highest to the lowest percent).

Distribution Area Name

Displays the name of the hazardous brushfire area. For risks located beyond brushfire areas, displays a message indicating that the risk address is not in a brushfire zone.

Distribution Area Identifier

Displays a two-digit/two-letter code identifying different hazardous brushfire areas. Displays "N/A" for risks located beyond those areas.
