Do you live in a fire-risk area? These maps show high-risk zones across the U.S.

Los Angeles and other areas in California are among the highest-risk areas for wildfires — but they're not the only ones. 

The Los Angeles wildfires that ignited last week have devastated communities and upended thousands of lives. The fires were fueled by powerful winds and dry conditions, and climate change also plays a role in increasing risk, with rainy periods becoming more intense and dry seasons lasting longer. 

Many fires take place in areas where humans have overstepped into nature — also known as wildland-urban interface.
