About FireRisk.ai
FireRisk.ai is an independent wildfire-risk and fire-insurance information service. We give any U.S. homeowner a free, instant wildfire risk score (0–100) for their address — built entirely from authoritative U.S. government open data — plus a prioritized mitigation plan, live fire monitoring, and plain-English insurance guidance. We are not an insurer, an agent, or a government agency, and our scores are estimates for awareness, not a guarantee of safety, insurability, or premium.
How our content is produced
FireRisk.ai covers active wildfire incidents using official feeds from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC), the National Weather Service, and NASA FIRMS satellite imagery — translating raw government data into plain-English briefings that help homeowners understand what a fire means for their specific location. On the insurance side, we track carrier withdrawal patterns, FAIR Plan changes, and wildfire-specific underwriting practices across high-risk states, and check every risk-methodology, defensible-space, and insurance explainer against the underlying federal datasets.

Our editorial standards
- →Grounded in official data. Risk inputs come from USFS Wildfire Risk to Communities, FEMA’s National Risk Index, high-resolution DEM terrain (Open-Meteo / USGS 3DEP), NIFC fire perimeters, and the National Weather Service. We cite each source with its vintage on every page that uses it.
- →No fabricated numbers. Our live fire and briefing systems reject any figure that can’t be traced to a grounded official source. We’d rather show “data unavailable” than invent a number.
- →Transparent and auditable. We publish our full scoring methodology and a dated source & accuracy audit. Any expert can verify our math.
- →Awareness, not emergency guidance. For real-time evacuation orders, always follow your local authorities and call 911. We are not an emergency service, and our data lags real-time ground conditions.
- →No hidden interests. We do not sell insurance, accept insurer advertising, or receive compensation based on insurance outcomes. Carrier guidance reflects publicly available data, not paid placement.
Corrections & accuracy
If you find a factual error — a wrong acreage figure, an outdated source citation, an inaccurate insurance statement — please email accuracy@firerisk.ai. We take accuracy seriously and will correct confirmed errors promptly, with a note on the relevant page. Our live fire data pulls directly from NIFC and NWS feeds, so figures update as agencies report — if a number looks stale, the underlying agency feed may not yet have refreshed.
