Fisher, AR
How exposed is Fisher to wildfire?
USFS scores Fisher at the 35th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (close to the middle of USFS's national wildfire-risk range), a figure built from 202 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Fisher's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 36th percentile nationally.
Fisher's building exposure, zone by zone
Fisher rates 64.9% Minimal exposure against just 35.2% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 202 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
Fisher against the rest of the country
Inside Arkansas, Fisher sits at just the 16th percentile even though it scores 35th nationally — the state's overall wildfire exposure is high enough to make this a relatively quiet corner of it. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fisher ranks 20,380 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 24,756 by building count (1 is largest). Within Arkansas alone, it ranks 515 of 614 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Arkansas on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fisher
Fisher's moderate wildfire rating (35th percentile) isn't the kind of score driving the carrier pullback making news in the highest-risk Western markets — but a standard homeowners quote is still worth comparing on its own terms.
What would actually reduce this score
With 64.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Fisher gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
More on how this number was built
Fisher's 35th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what minimal exposure implies beyond Fisher, see the exposure-zones guide.
