Verify your own parcel: Because Temecula has multiple fire-hazard tiers present within city limits and the 2025 map adoption is still in progress, checking your specific parcel on the official CAL FIRE FHSZ Viewer is especially important here: https://osfm.fire.ca.gov/what-we-do/community-wildfire-preparedness-and-mitigation/fire-hazard-severity-zones
