How to read the fire risk map

The same color scale and layers appear everywhere on FireRisk.ai — your address report, state and county maps, and defensible-space diagrams.

Low

Moderate

High

Very High

Extreme

The risk-score layer

Shaded by terrain, vegetation, and structure susceptibility — this layer reflects long-term exposure and doesn't change day to day. It's the same score shown on your address report.

Recorded fire history

Real fire perimeters from NIFC back to 2000, shown within 25 miles of any point — so you can see whether fire has actually reached this area before, not just whether the terrain favors it.

Looking for fires burning right now instead of long-term risk? See the live wildfire tracker — it adds active fire locations and smoke on top of this same map.

Fire risk map FAQ

What is the fire risk map, and how is it different from the live wildfire map?

This map shows RISK — how exposed a property is to wildfire long-term, based on terrain, vegetation, and structure susceptibility. It is not the same as our live wildfire tracker, which shows fires actually burning right now. A property can have a high risk score with no fire anywhere nearby today; see the live map at wildfires-today for current activity.

What do the colors on the fire risk map mean?

Each score band has a consistent color: green for Low, yellow for Moderate, orange for High, red-orange for Very High, and deep red for Extreme. The same color scale is used everywhere on FireRisk.ai — on your address report, on state and county maps, and on the defensible-space zone diagrams — so a color always means the same risk level no matter which page you're on.

What layers can I see on the map besides the risk score?

Recorded fire perimeters going back to 2000 (so you can see fire history within 25 miles of any point), and — on live tracking pages — active fire locations and smoke. The risk-score layer itself never changes day to day; it reflects terrain and vegetation, not today's weather.

Can I put this map on my own website?

Yes — FireRisk for Business offers an embeddable version of this same map and scoring engine for insurers, real estate sites, and other partners, in one line of code. See firerisk.ai/for-business.
