Glen Flora wildfire risk explained
USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model puts Glen Flora at the 11th national percentile for risk to structures, among the lower wildfire-risk places nationally — a score built from 88 actual buildings. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Glen Flora's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 10th percentile nationally.
Where Glen Flora's buildings actually sit
Most of Glen Flora's buildings (60.2%) 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.
Glen Flora against the rest of the country
Glen Flora scores 11th nationally and 7th within Wisconsin — close enough that its state context doesn't change the picture the national number already gives.
