Zone 0 Fire Hazard Designation in Glendale

Fire-hazard designation & local ordinance
FHSZ: Moderate, High, and Very High all present
Glendale has Moderate, High, and Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones all present within city limits. This genuinely varies by address; no single tier applies uniformly across the city, so it should not be characterized by one blanket designation. The city's own page notes that a parcel spanning zones takes the more restrictive designation.
