Fillmore, UT's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Fillmore's 1,628 buildings earn a 96th-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Fillmore's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 95th percentile nationally.
Fillmore's building exposure, zone by zone
1,628 buildings are counted in Fillmore, and 56% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 44% in Direct exposure or the 0% rated Minimal.
How Fillmore compares
Fillmore scores 96th nationally and 85th 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, Fillmore ranks 1,335 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,661 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 51 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fillmore
At the 96th percentile nationally, Fillmore 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 Fillmore
Fillmore's 56% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
