?? Stronger Homes, Safer Communities ?? This week, the new 2025 edition of the California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (CWUI) was adopted. The new wildfire building code relocates current wildfire resiliency related sections into one central location within Part 7 of the California Building Code. The various wildfire-related sections include existing Chapter 7A of the Building Code, Chapter 49 of the Fire Code (vegetation management around homes), and Chapter 337 of the Residential Code. The structure of the CWUI Code is modeled using the International Code Council’s International Wildland-Urban Interface Code. While the requirements remain the same, the reorganization and consolidation into one code is a major milestone for California making it a simpler process for builders and local officials across the state. The new code takes effect on January 1, 2026. The CAL FIRE – Office of the State Fire Marshal has a long-standing Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) workgroup that completed the proposal for the adoption and will continue to meet to review and propose revisions. The success of the code since its adoption in 2008 has been the development process, which has always included all stakeholders at the table including fire officials, building officials, building industry, researchers, academics, manufacturers, as well as the public. Wildfires have devastated California, but stronger building codes are making a difference. Homes built under California’s wildfire regulations are 40% more likely to survive than older homes, according to a 2021 study. ?? Why it matters: ?? Fire-resistant roofs and other features protect new homes. ?? Even older homes benefit—if they’re near a newer home, their survival chances increases. ?? Research shows California’s wildfire building codes work to keep communities safer. Read the article: https://bit.ly/3CZpCty Stronger homes mean safer communities. While this code is focused on new construction, all Californians should take steps to harden their home through retrofits.
