Kremmling, CO
Kremmling wildfire risk explained
USFS scores Kremmling at the 54th national percentile for wildfire risk to structures (modestly above the national average for wildfire risk), a figure built from 953 real buildings rather than raw vegetation cover. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Kremmling's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 53rd percentile nationally.
Kremmling's building exposure, zone by zone
92.8% of Kremmling's 953 buildings fall in USFS's Indirect exposure zone — ember cast rather than direct flame — against 7.2% Direct and 0% Minimal. Vent screens and roofing material matter more here than lot clearing alone.
How Kremmling compares
Inside Colorado, Kremmling sits at just the 22nd percentile even though it scores 54th 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, Kremmling ranks 14,552 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 12,283 by building count (1 is largest). Within Colorado alone, it ranks 368 of 472 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Colorado on its state page.
Kremmling and the insurance market
At the 54th national percentile, Kremmling rates elevated for wildfire risk — well short of the threshold where insurers have been withdrawing coverage, though comparing a quote costs nothing either way.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Kremmling (92.8% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
More on how this number was built
Kremmling's 54th-percentile score and its burn-probability figure both come from the same USFS workbook, documented in the methodology guide. For more on what indirect exposure implies beyond Kremmling, see the exposure-zones guide.
