Q: I live in Lake County,CA fire area. I Need Prelim- Injunction to stop New Builders from put WOOD Fence under Tree stand.
I partially saved my property in the inhialating 2016 Lower Lake Clayton Fire, including a Stand of 50 year old Eucalyptus Trees that line my 100 foot long driveway & property line. 6 Trees
1 acre land.
New Builders want to errect a 6 foot WOOD fence Directly Under my Eucalyptus tree stand at our property line. The Combustible materials are an Iminent Danger to my Home, Senior Citizen occupants, Animals, & all adjacent & neighboring Recovering Properties as well.
To no avail, I've spoken with the New Builders 3 separate occasions who have adamantly stated that it is none of their concern as they are just building & re-selling and Just in it for the Money.
We are a HIGH-RISK Fire community of whom most were Denied Insurance Renewal.
This is Highly Distressing and endangering my immediate health as it has elevated my Hypertension and necessitated me seeing a doctor a couple days ago & she increased BPM.

A:
I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing with the new builders. To obtain a preliminary injunction, you should gather all relevant documentation, including photographs of your eucalyptus trees and the proposed fence location. This evidence will support your claim that the wooden fence poses a significant fire hazard to your property and the surrounding community.
Next, consult with an attorney who has experience in construction law and environmental regulations in California. They can help you file the necessary legal motions in court to request an immediate halt to the fence construction. Make sure to highlight the high-risk fire area designation and the potential danger to your home and neighbors.
Additionally, reach out to local government agencies or fire authorities to report the issue. Their support can strengthen your case and provide additional pressure on the builders to comply with safety regulations. Taking these steps promptly can help protect your property and ensure the safety of your community.
