Wildfire exposure score
Why this score
- 1Ember AttackExtreme
Continuous conifer canopy upwind and ember-receptive construction details make wind-driven ember showers the dominant ignition pathway.
- 2Radiant HeatHigh
Forest within 30 m on two aspects can deliver damaging radiant flux to cladding and glazing.
- 3Direct FlameModerate
Direct flame contact requires fire to cross the maintained yard zone.

What this means
This property faces a high likelihood of wildfire impact. Fire activity nearby is a measurable part of that: 7 recorded wildfires since 2000, the closest about 4.8 km away. The strongest single driver is ember attack exposure. Exposure is not the same as inevitability — the full report shows which parts of it can be reduced.
The documented fire history, climate and terrain at this location indicate substantially higher exposure than is typical for Canada.
Recommended next step
Your assessment identified ember exposure and radiant heat as the strongest factors at this address.
A Property Protection Review turns these findings into a prioritised plan: where this property is most exposed, and what to address first.
This score measures wildfire exposure at your location using documented fire history, regional climate records and terrain slope measured from elevation data. Property-specific factors — construction, defensible space, water access — are verified during an on-site assessment.

Where you are
Regional context
Sea-to-Sky corridor, coastal British Columbia — a FireSmart priority region with a lengthening fire season and recurring summer drought codes.
Terrain
Moderate-to-steep forested slope; the structure sits mid-slope with upslope vegetation continuity.
Climate
Coastal montane — dry summer pattern, July–September peak fire danger.
What surrounds you
Vegetation
Mixed conifer within 30 m of the structure; ladder fuels along the southern property line.
Wildland proximity
Direct wildland-urban interface — continuous forest within 100 m on two aspects.
Wind patterns
Afternoon up-valley southwesterlies, 15–30 km/h during fire season.

Environmental characteristics describe the region surrounding your property, derived from its geographic coordinates and measured terrain data — not from an inspection of the property itself. Property-specific details (construction, materials, defensible space, exact exposure) are verified during your Prodigy site survey.

Fire History Near You
How this property's deterministic risk score evolved as verified fires accumulated around it (2011–2026). Terrain, fuel and regional baseline are held constant — what changed is the fire record. The shaded band is the confidence range.
2023 — Downton Lake Fire, 88 km away, 41 structures lost +0.9
2024 — Pemberton Bench Fire, 31 km away +0.8
Reconstructed from verified fire records using the same scoring methodology as your current assessment. Confidence ranges widen for earlier years where fire records are less complete.
Historical Context
The 2015 Boulder Creek and Elaho fires burned for weeks within 70 km. The 2021 heat-dome season pushed fire danger to extreme for 40+ consecutive days.

90% of homes lost in wildfires are destroyed by ember attack — not direct flames. This is the threat most homeowners overlook.
Risk-by-risk defence strategy
Vulnerabilities & How We Neutralise Them
Under a 30 km/h southwesterly with drought-code fuels, a crown fire entering the corridor could put this address under ember attack within hours of ignition.
What's at stake in your area
Regional Impact
Regional activity trend
Fire seasons lengthening — area burned in BC has more than doubled since the 1990s
Evacuation Reality
This corridor evacuates through a single highway. Plan for the property to be undefended by you during an event.
Insurance Impact
Interface addresses are seeing rising premiums and higher wildfire deductibles.

Why Prodigy?
Prodigy systems are engineered per-property. Every nozzle position is calculated from this property’s roofline, aspects, and fuel approach.
From measurement to response
Your risk is measurable.
So is your response.
This assessment identified where the property is most exposed — starting with continuous conifer canopy within 30 m of the primary structure. Prodigy designs permanent exterior wildfire protection systems around the property itself: roof geometry, surrounding fuels, available water and how the property would be left during an evacuation.
What a system is designed to do
- Pre-wet vulnerable exterior areas before fire reaches them
- Reduce the potential for embers to find dry ignition points
- Keep working through evacuation conditions once activated
No system removes wildfire risk. The purpose is to reduce how exposed this property is when one arrives.
Remote activation
Start the system from the app where the installation is configured for it — including while you are away.
Designed around the property
Roof geometry, surrounding fuels, water supply and access are all designed for individually.
Permanent exterior protection
Fixed hardware that stays on the building — not equipment you have to set up as a fire approaches.
Shown because this property assessed as Very High exposure. A Property Protection Review confirms what is actually feasible on site — nothing is committed by looking.
