CoreLogic Wildfire Report Designates 1.8M Homes At Extreme Or High Risk

Things haven’t gone as bad as they could have so far in 2016 coming off last year’s record-setting wildfire season in the Western U.S., according to a report out today detailing wildfire risks to properties in the Western U.S. The author of the report chalks that up to a mixture of luck and preparedness. However, Californians in particular should keep their fingers crossed. There’s still time left in the state’s wildfire season. The annual CoreLogic Wildfire Risk report designates 1.8 million single-family homes across 13 Western states as being at “Extreme” or “High” risk of wildfire damage, representing a combined total reconstruction cost value of nearly $500 billion.
