What the ember-resistant zone rules mean for this city, under its actual designation and its actual fire authority.
The local snapshot
Fillmore sits up the Santa Clara River valley from Santa Paula, citrus country against the Topatopa foothills, served by the Ventura County Fire Protection District's Station 27. Like its downriver neighbor, it's included here for its verified fire history and service area, and caveated because this site could not fully confirm the city's current Fire Hazard Severity tier this research pass. What's confirmed is stated; what isn't is labeled, and your parcel's actual answer is a free check away.
The local record
The Thomas Fire's December 2017 run moved through the Santa Clara River valley corridor, and regional coverage places Fillmore among the communities affected as the fire spread from its ignition area. That verified regional history is why the city is on this site. The city's exact current FHSZ tier under the 2025 maps is the piece we have not confirmed, and this page deliberately doesn't assert it. The foothill edge above town is the geography most worth checking at the parcel level, which the free assessment does definitively.
Who enforces it
Fillmore is served by the Ventura County Fire Protection District through Station 27, the same VCFD family that serves most of the county. The state Zone 0 framework is the floor; the district's adopted specifics apply locally. Deadlines pages carry the state defaults; your jurisdiction sets the specifics, and this page names yours. For the requirements themselves, start with the regulations guide, fences and gates, and landscaping.
