Part II of our conversation with State Fire Marshal Daniel Berlant finds us tackling one of the most contentious topics in wildfire prevention - Zone Zero. The state is still trying to define exactly what Zone Zero will entail, but homeowners are already filling social media and text strings with nightmares of having to create moonscapes of bare dirt around their homes to qualify for fire insurance. So, what exactly is ZoneZero, and what does CAL FIRE want you to do to be in compliance? That's what we cover in the second half of our conversation with Chief Daniel Berlant.
