Krebs, OK
Krebs, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
USFS scores Krebs at the 97th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally), a figure built from 1,616 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Krebs's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 98th percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
Indirect exposure is dominant in Krebs (53.5% of 1,616 buildings): far enough from burnable vegetation to avoid flame contact, close enough for wind-blown embers. Only 46.5% sit in the Direct zone.
Where Krebs ranks
Krebs's risk sits at a similar level relative to Oklahoma (93rd percentile statewide) as it does nationally (97th) — this place isn't unusual for its own state either way. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Krebs ranks 982 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 8,709 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 57 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Krebs and the insurance market
Krebs's very high rating (97th percentile) puts it among the places where the national carrier-pullback trend is most relevant — not a guarantee of a coverage problem, but a reason to shop rather than assume.
What would actually reduce this score
Krebs's 53.5% Indirect-exposure share points at embers, not flame contact, as the main pathway — ember-resistant vents and non-combustible roofing rank ahead of defensible space here. Detail in the home-hardening guide.
Where Krebs's figures come from
Every one of the two percentiles behind Krebs's 982-place national rank traces to USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities dataset — see the methodology guide. The exposure-zones guide covers what Krebs's dominant indirect exposure actually means, with real examples from across the dataset.
