Here in California, especially Southern, expect to work to the letter of the law (and even beyond) under every available code book in the coming years. We have been devistated by these fires, and although there is nothing pointing to any cause other than deliberate ignition, everybody is going to be very concerned about everything fire-related.
You can expect AHJs to be very strict, and to probably come up with some extra, on-the-spot requirements that they may think necessary at the time.
Just do whatever they want, within reason of course. Nobody wants to think they might have a hand in the next round of devistation.
Good Luck!
