Fairfield, UT
Fairfield, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Fairfield at the 99th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 165 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fairfield at the 99th percentile, close to its 99th-percentile risk score.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Of Fairfield's 165 counted buildings, 81.8% carry Direct exposure and only 0% carry Minimal — a lopsided split that puts defensible-space clearing ahead of vents or roofing as the intervention worth doing first.
How Fairfield compares
Fairfield scores 99th nationally and 97th within Utah — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fairfield ranks 298 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 26,238 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 10 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fairfield
At the 99th percentile nationally, Fairfield carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Fairfield
Fairfield's 81.8% Direct-exposure share means lot clearing around the structure typically outweighs any single material upgrade here. The home-hardening guide ranks the options for a place shaped like this.
More on how this number was built
Fairfield's 99th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what direct exposure implies beyond Fairfield, see the exposure-zones guide.
