Fellsburg, PA
How exposed is Fellsburg to wildfire?
Out of every US place USFS scores, Fellsburg lands at the 32nd percentile for wildfire risk to structures — close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range — a figure built from its 622 buildings, not the land around them. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fellsburg at the 33rd national percentile — 2 points above its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Fellsburg's buildings actually sit
USFS puts 52.6% of Fellsburg's 622 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 47.4% Direct and 0% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
Where Fellsburg ranks
Fellsburg's risk sits at a similar level relative to Pennsylvania (41st percentile statewide) as it does nationally (32nd) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way.

Within Pennsylvania alone, it ranks 1,165 of 1,991 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Pennsylvania on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fellsburg
At the 32nd national percentile, Fellsburg rates moderate for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 52.6% of Fellsburg'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.
