Default Non-combustible Vegetation near a Water Tank?

We are about 60 Miles North of San Francisco, Sonoma County.

Burying it would cause Access issues with the Connections to the tank. The
5000 gallon tank would be quite a hole in the ground too. (-;

They want a 20' setback from the combustible Vegetation, so unless the tree
is Tall and no low Branches, they don't want it near the tank. So my Maple
is either got to go, or I need to find another location.

PG&E made me take out one of our Oaks already. I want to save as many trees
as I can!

Thanks!

The Fire Safe Standards say that I can have Non-combustible Vegetation
near
a Water Tank... Does anyone have recommendations on what kind of
Non-combustible Vegetation I can plant infront of a 8'Hx12'dia Tank thats
smack in the middle of the front yard? We wanted hide it behind a hedge
or
2.


Where you are might affect recommendations.
