Warren AFB, WY
How exposed is Warren AFB to wildfire?
Warren AFB's 797 buildings earn a 81st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Fire likelihood alone (USFS's burn-probability figure) ranks Warren AFB at the 80th national percentile — 1 points below its risk-to-structures score, a gap driven by how much is actually built there.
Where Warren AFB's buildings actually sit
Most of Warren AFB's buildings (70.4%) 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.
How Warren AFB compares
Warren AFB's 81st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 54th ranking inside Wyoming does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 27 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Warren AFB ranks 6,068 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 13,671 by building count (1 is largest). Within Wyoming alone, it ranks 90 of 192 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Wyoming on its state page.
What this risk score means for insurance
At the 81st percentile nationally, Warren AFB carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
What would actually reduce this score
With ember exposure the dominant pattern in Warren AFB (70.4% Indirect), vent screens and roofing material tend to matter more than lot clearing alone. The home-hardening guide covers both.
