What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Assemblymember Bennett introduced Assembly Bill 2075, a new California law designed to reduce wildfire risk during vegetation-clearing operations. The law requires workers to have fire-suppression equipment immediately available when accidental ignition or equipment malfunction occurs. This legislation follows the 2024 Mountain Fire in Ventura County, which burned nearly 20,000 acres and destroyed hundreds of structures.
