The county has been divided into six geography zones for fire weather (see Fire Weather Zone map):
**Temblor – Temblor Mountains along western edge of county
**Valley – The San Joaquin Valley floor
**Mountain 1 – Southern Sierra Nevada **Mountains and Tehachapi Mountains within Battalion 1
**Mountain 5 – Southern Tehachapi Mountains and San Emigdio Mountains within Battalion 5
**Mountain 7 – Sierra Nevada Mountains within Battalion 7
**Desert – The High Desert from Ridgecrest to Rosemond
