Fultonville, NY
How exposed is Fultonville to wildfire?
Fultonville sits at the 12th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 377 counted buildings, not vegetation cover alone. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
USFS's separate burn-probability score — fire likelihood alone, before counting what's built there — puts Fultonville at the 12th percentile, close to its 12th-percentile risk score.
Fultonville's building exposure, zone by zone
Most of Fultonville's buildings (77.2%) sit in the Indirect zone, where wind-blown embers rather than flame front are the mechanism USFS is scoring — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing are the interventions this pattern favors, more than defensible space alone.

Hardening a home in Fultonville
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Fultonville (77.2% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
