USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fremont at the 62nd percentile, close to its 67th-percentile risk score.
Where Fremont's buildings actually sit
184 buildings are counted in Fremont, and 60.3% 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.
How Fremont compares
Inside Utah, Fremont sits at just the 26th percentile even though it scores 67th 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, Fremont ranks 10,445 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 25,484 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 242 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Shopping for coverage in Fremont
At the 67th percentile nationally, Fremont carries the 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.
