Response Description

Response Element	Description
fireRisk.objectId	Unique identifier for each location.
fireRisk.state.code	Two letter state abbreviation.
fireRisk.state.fips	Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) numerical state code.
fireRisk.fireShed.id	Numeric fireshed value. Firesheds divide landscape into landscape based units that exhibit the same vegetation, slope and resultant fire behavior.
fireRisk.fireShed.risk.description	Description of risk category. Note: Valid if risk type is Interface, Intermix & Wildland.
fireRisk.fireShed.risk.frequency	Specifies the likelihood of future wildfires based on their occurrence in the area in the past. Frequency uses a simulation-focused approach to determine future probability. A fire can be simulated on the landscape based on topography, weather and fuel. This represents what is likely to happen on the landscape as it exists now using existing topography, weather and fuel types. 0 Least Likely 49 Most Likely Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix.
fireRisk.fireShed.risk.nonburn	Specifies effect related to the continuity of burnable area (roads, bare ground, rock, outcrops etc) which may reduce wildfire severity. Least mitigating (Low) to greatest mitigating (High). Note: Valid if risk type is Wildland.
fireRisk.fireShed.risk.pastFires	Past fires represent likelihood of how often a fire will occur in a given area. This data is returned at a much coarser scale utilizing empirical data, of where fires are more or less likely to occur based on where they have occurred in the past. This returns finer scale information than frequency and uses a simulation-based approach. 0 Least Likely. 49 Most Likely. Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix.
fireRisk.fireShed.risk.severity	Specifies how severe fire behavior would be in the event of an ignition. It includes topography (slope, aspect and elevation), prevailing weather patterns in the area (based on weather stations located nation-wide) and the fuel type present (40 different subsets of grass, shrub and timber vegetation types). It also includes an evaluation of the potential for crown fire in each fireshed. This determines in the determination of how prevalent fire embers may be. 0 Lowest Note: Valid if risk type is Intermix and Wildland.
fireRisk.fireShed.risk.distanceToFireStation	Refers to the distance to the nearest fire station to reflect probability of a successful wildfire suppression or structure protection effort. 0 Closer to Fire Station 49 Farther from Fire Station Note: Valid if risk type is Wildfire.
