Brice Prairie, WI
Brice Prairie wildfire risk explained
Brice Prairie sits at the 22nd percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 1,186 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Brice Prairie at the 23rd national percentile — 1 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Brice Prairie's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Brice Prairie's buildings (57.6%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.
How Brice Prairie compares
Brice Prairie's 37th-percentile standing inside Wisconsin outpaces its 22nd national percentile — this is a hotter spot than most of its own state, even though the state as a whole runs cooler nationally. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Brice Prairie ranks 24,691 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 10,735 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wisconsin alone, it ranks 507 of 808 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wisconsin on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 22nd national percentile, Brice Prairie rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Hardening a home in Brice Prairie
Because 57.6% of Brice Prairie's buildings sit in the Indirect zone, sealing the ember pathway (vents, roofing, gutters) is the intervention this page's data actually supports — see the home-hardening guide.
