Separately from the risk score above, Manorhaven's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 31st percentile nationally.
What "at risk" means for the buildings here
USFS puts 98.1% of Manorhaven's 1,465 buildings in the Indirect exposure zone, versus 1.7% Direct and 0.2% Minimal — a place where the fire doesn't need to reach the structure directly for embers to.
