ECAP Wildfire Risk Reduction A-4 Adopt and fully implement a Vegetation Management Plan for high-fire risk areas. Continue to update and enforce the Oakland Fire Code to require building owners in high-risk areas to maintain defensible space and implement fire prevention measures. Increase wildfire safety requirements for new construction or major renovations in high fire risk areas.
