Expanding Access to Precision Wildfire Intelligence: FortressFire’s Aerial Risk Reports Now Available in 12 States

Wildfire is no longer a seasonal or state-specific challenge. From the desert edges of Arizona to the forested slopes of Washington, risk patterns are shifting — wildfires have become even faster, more complex, and increasingly destructive. Yet most assessment tools still rely on broad hazard zones or generalized assumptions that rarely reflect how fire actually behaves at the structure level.

We believe that prevention must become the new standard. That’s why today marks an important milestone not just for our company, but for property owners, insurers, and communities across the West. FortressFire’s Aerial Risk Reports (ARRs) are now available across 12 wildfire-exposed states — expanding from California into Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

This expansion brings precision, physics-based wildfire science to regions where structure-level insight has been urgently needed but historically unavailable.

Why This Expansion Matters Now

Wildfire risk is growing more severe, more widespread, and more unpredictable. Experts continue to warn that outdated assessment methods — including broad hazard maps and ZIP-code-level evaluations — leave communities vulnerable and distort insurance markets. As an LA Times article highlighted earlier this year, wildfire must be understood through the lens of physics, structure conditions, and real ignition pathways.

The stakes extend beyond risk scores. Insurance carriers are retreating from wildfire-exposed regions, reinsurers are demanding better data, and property owners are struggling to understand what steps will actually make a difference when protecting their homes from flames.

Precision wildfire intelligence isn’t a “nice-to-have” anymore. It’s foundational to restoring stability.

Introducing Structure-Level Wildfire Insight at Scale

FortressFire’s Aerial Risk Reports offer a fast, cost-efficient, and scientific way to evaluate a specific property — all without stepping foot onsite. Each ARR translates complex wildfire science into a clear vulnerability profile, outlining where ignition threats originate, what is driving the risk, and what actions will meaningfully reduce it.

This approach is the foundation of our AMP Platform — Assess, Mitigate, Monitor, Protect — which is the same science-driven system underpinning advanced programs like our Fine Art & Collections and Commercial Wineries Wildfire Insurance Programs.

Our mission is consistent: Empower property owners and underwriters with actionable, verifiable data that enables prevention, not just prediction.

A Better Way Forward for Insurers, Brokers & Risk Managers

As wildfire losses rise, the insurance industry needs tools that go beyond probability curves and hazard scores. Carriers, reinsurers, and risk managers across the ecosystem are asking for:

• Structure-specific ignition analysis
• Verified mitigation insights
• Portfolio-level visibility
• Data that supports modern underwriting requirements

ARRs help deliver all of the above with outputs that include:

• Property-specific vulnerability score
• Breakdown of factors contributing to potential ignitions
• Recommended mitigation steps that measurably reduce exposure and improve insurability

Over 100,000 structures have already been analyzed through FortressFire technology to enable smarter underwriting, more targeted mitigation investments, and increased access to insurance options.

This isn’t conceptual. It’s working. As verified mitigations begin to unlock coverage in high-risk zones, ARRs provide the scalable foundation needed to accelerate resilience across entire regions.

Expanding Protection Across the Western U.S.

With availability now spanning 12 states, FortressFire serves every major wildfire corridor in the West — from coastal forests to sagebrush basins to mountain communities.

ARRs provide quantified, science-based insights at scale to:

• Homeowners seeking clarity in a confusing insurance market
• Realtors and lenders navigating disclosure and underwriting requirements
• Brokers designing modern risk programs and coverage solutions
• Insurers striving for loss prevention, pricing accuracy, and portfolio resilience
• Community developments and HOAs aiming for verified, defensible-space compliance

They provide a path forward where property owners are empowered, insurers are informed, and communities are better protected. This aligns with our long-standing position that prevention-based models are the future of wildfire resilience and insurance innovation.
