Fishers Landing, NY
How exposed is Fishers Landing to wildfire?
USFS scores Fishers Landing at the 7th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally), a figure built from 375 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 Fishers Landing at the 7th percentile, close to its 7th-percentile risk score.
Where Fishers Landing's buildings actually sit
375 buildings are counted in Fishers Landing, and 51.7% of them are Indirect exposure — ember-driven risk rather than the 42.1% in Direct exposure or the 6.1% rated Minimal.
Where Fishers Landing ranks
Fishers Landing's risk sits at a similar level relative to New York (13th percentile statewide) as it does nationally (7th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Fishers Landing ranks 29,316 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 19,767 by building count (1 is largest). Within New York alone, it ranks 1,120 of 1,289 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for New York on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
Fishers Landing's low wildfire rating (7th 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.
Lowering exposure, not just insuring around it
Because 51.7% of Fishers Landing'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.
More on how this number was built
Fishers Landing's 7th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Fishers Landing, see the exposure-zones guide.
