Tremonton, UT
How exposed is Tremonton to wildfire?
Tremonton sits at the 87th percentile nationally for wildfire risk to structures — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally — per USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities model, built from its 3,426 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 Tremonton at the 82nd percentile, close to its 87th-percentile risk score.
Where Tremonton's buildings actually sit
Most of Tremonton's buildings (74.1% of 3,426) fall outside USFS's Direct and Indirect zones entirely — that doesn't zero out the score above, it means the risk is regional, not structure-by-structure.
How Tremonton compares
Tremonton ranks lower within Utah (47th percentile statewide) than its 87th national percentile suggests alone — a calmer spot in a state where wildfire risk generally runs high. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Tremonton ranks 4,206 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 4,879 by building count (1 is largest). Within Utah alone, it ranks 173 of 326 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Utah on its state page.
Tremonton and the insurance market
Tremonton's 87th-percentile, very high rating is the kind of score behind a broader national pattern: insurers pulling back from the highest wildfire-risk markets, non-renewing or declining new policies outright, most visibly in California. Shopping around, not assuming automatic renewal, tends to matter here.
What would actually reduce this score
Tremonton's 74.1% Minimal-exposure share means structure-level hardening matters less here than it would elsewhere — still worth the low-cost basics, per the home-hardening guide.
