Fire Hazard Reduction
The Hazard Reduction Program seeks to proactively reduce or remove fuel to minimize damage to life, property, and the environment should a fire occur.
The hazard reduction program is administered twice a year, beginning with weed abatement in the Spring and tumbleweed enforcement in the Fall. The Moreno Valley Fire Prevention Bureau is responsible for enforcing the City’s Municipal Code and Fire Code on open space vacant land.
