Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Fort Washakie at the 86th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Fort Washakie's buildings actually sit
831 buildings are counted in Fort Washakie, and 87.9% of them sit in USFS's Direct exposure zone — flame contact, not just ember cast, is the live possibility for most of them, against 0% rated Minimal.

Shopping for coverage in Fort Washakie

What would actually reduce this score
Because Direct exposure dominates in Fort Washakie (87.9%), the highest-leverage fix is defensible space, not roofing or vents alone — covered in the home-hardening guide.
