TULELAKE URBAN FIRE PLAN - 2026
prepared by the
Tulelake Emergency Committee
1| Page
Tulelake Urban Fire Plan - April 2026
The Urban Fire Plan (UFP) for the City of Tulelake, California, is designed to address the specific needs of a small, rural agricultural community with approximately 850 to 1200 residents, farm workers and visitors depending on the time of year. Located in the high desert of the Klamath and Tulelake Basins, Tulelake faces unique risks from agricultural burns, wildland-urban interface (WUI) encroachment, and structural fires in older building stock.
1. Executive Summary
The Tulelake Urban Fire Plan establishes a framework for reducing fire risk through proactive vegetation management, structural hardening, and clear emergency protocols. Given Tulelake's status as a "Moderate Risk" wildfire community relative to the state average, the primary focus is on ignition prevention and localized hazard reduction to prevent a single structure fire from transitioning into a conflagration. Tulelake is in a Local Responsibility Area (LRA) and the City is required to regulate its own fire prevention measures. The City currently contracts with the Tulelake Muli County Fire District for fire protection services.

Tulelake Urban Fire Plan - April 2026
2. Vegetation & Landscaping Management
Vegetation management is the first line of defense. The city follows the Three-Zone Defensible Space model to create a buffer between structures and potential fuels. Creating buffers around structures and using fire resistant building materials are essential requirements in mitigating against wildfire. It is recommended to keep the first 5 feet around a home clear to prevent embers from igniting, this area is called (Zone 0). Keep the area within 30 feet of the home clear of dry vegetation to create a buffer area, (Zone 1). Reduce fuel load within 100 feet of the home, (Zone 2).
Zone 0: The Ember-Resistant Zone (0-5 feet)
• The immediate 5 feet around any structure must be kept free of combustible materials. • Zero Combustibles: No bark mulch, wood piles, or dead leaves against siding. > Planting: Only low-growing, high-moisture plants are permitted.
Zone 1: Lean, Clean, and Green (5-30 feet)
› The goal here is to eliminate "ladder fuels" that allow fire to climb into the canopy. • Tree Spacing: Maintain a minimum of 10 feet between tree crowns. > Trimming: Mature trees must be limbed up to 10 feet from the ground. Smaller trees should be limbed to 1/3 of their height.
• Chimney Clearance: All vegetation must be cleared within 10 feet of any chimney or stovepipe outlet.
• Wood Piles: Firewood can be stored in Zone 1 or Zone 2, with at least 10 feet of clear soil around the pile.
Zone 2: Reduced Fuel Zone (30-100 feet)
• Grass Height: Annual grasses must be mowed to a maximum height of 4 inches. • Debris: Fallen leaves, needles, and twigs may remain but must not exceed a depth of 3 inches.

3. Structural Setbacks & Development Standards
To prevent "structure-to-structure" ignition in Tulelake's dense residential core, the following setbacks and building standards are enforced:
Setback Requirements
New Construction: For new housing construction the minimum side-yard and back-yard setbacks of 10 feet are required to create a fire break between adjacent homes. For all other zoning districts, the minimum distance between buildings is specified in the City Ordinance Chapter 17 Zoning Code and the California Building Code.
Outbuildings: Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU's), sheds and detached garages must be at least 30 feet from the primary residence unless built with fire-rated materials (e.g., 1-hour fire-resistive walls).
Fencing: Building Code Fencing Ordinance 15.1 will direct the type and regulations of fencing allowed. Wood fencing must be in satisfactory and usable condition as per the building code when attached to a structure. A 5-foot non-combustible "break" (metal or masonry) is preferred where the fence meets the house or garage. All fencing will be constructed in a manner consistent with building codes and standards of construction, so as not to create a hazard to Citizens.
Building Hardening
All new construction and building renovations must follow the California Building Code requirements for Fire Code outlined in Chapters 7, 7A and 49. The Wildland-Urban Interface Area codes of severity, regulate the fire-resistant material requirements for new construction and renovation of commercial, industrial and residential buildings. Below are mandatory items listed for fire prevention in new construction and building renovations. > Roofing: Class A fire-rated roofing materials (e.g., asphalt shingles, metal, or tile) are required for all new roofs and replacements.
• Venting: All attic and crawlspace vents must be covered with 1/8-inch non-combustible metal mesh to prevent ember intrusion.
4. Agricultural & Open Burning Regulations
Tulelake is surrounded by active farmland and the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
Permitted Material: Yard debris, defined as and shall only consist of dried grass leaves, twigs, brush, bush and tree trimmings. Other clean, burnable wood or similar items as part of a special cleanup project must be inspected prior to burning by the Tulelake Police Department or the Tulelake Multi 4| Page
Tulelake Urban Fire Plan - April 2026
County Fire District for overall safety. Special conditions may be imposed at the direction of the police and/or fire district to ensure public health and safety.
Burning Permits: The City of Tulelake does require Burn Permits for Open Burning within the City limits, and they can be issued at Tulelake City Hall during the working hours of Monday through Thursday between the hours of 8:00 am - 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Burning is only allowed after the designated burning area has been inspected and the Burn Permit has been approved and signed by either the Tulelake Police Department or the Tulelake Multi County Fire District.
Burn Days and Times: Burning is only permitted on designated "Burn Days" as determined by the Siskiyou County Air Pollution Control office on permissible burn days. All burning times are to be during daylight hours. Burn Day Status can be found at the Siskiyou County Air Pollution Control District website: https://www.siskiyoucounty.gov/airpollution/page/burn-day-information.
Prohibited Items: Burning in burn barrels, burning of trash, treated wood, or plastic is strictly prohibited under City Ordinance 8.50.

EVACUATION ZONE ID MAP
In the event of a major fire, the City of Tulelake utilizes a tiered evacuation system. A tiered evacuation system is referred to as the "Ready, Set, Go!" framework, and is a standardized three- stage approach used by emergency officials to alert residents about potential or immediate danger, used during wildfires and other hazards that are harmful to the public. This system helps residents and community members understand the level of fire threat and what appropriate action(s) should be taken. See the CAL FIRE website at https://www.readyforwildfire.org" for more information in preparing for a wildfire.
• Evacuation Warning (Level 1: Be Ready): There is a potential threat to life and/or property that exists. Residents should prepare to leave by gathering essential items (such as official identification documents & medications), preparing pets/livestock, and arranging 6| Page
Tulelake Urban Fire Plan - April 2026
transportation. Individuals needing extra time to evacuate, such as those with disabilities or large animals, should consider leaving during this stage. • Evacuation Order (Level 2: Be Set): A significant danger to your area is present, and residents should prepare to evacuate at a moment's notice. This is the stage to immediately leave if you feel unsafe or to finalize preparations to leave promptly. • Immediate Evacuation Order (Level 3: Go Now): An immediate, urgent threat to life is present. This is a lawful order to leave right now. It is critical to follow directions from law enforcement immediately to ensure safety of residents and others who are trying to evacuate. Roads are often closed to all traffic except emergency responders.
