flag Grassfires are now the top cause of home loss in the Western U.S., with experts warning widespread community preparedness is critical as another major event is expected.

flag Fast-moving grassfires are emerging as a major threat across the Western U.S., responsible for most structure losses in recent decades, with nearly 90% of home destruction in some cases linked to grass and brush fires. flag These fires spread rapidly through dry, windy conditions, especially in areas like Idaho’s Snake River Plain and Colorado’s Front Range, leading insurers to raise premiums, limit coverage, or withdraw from high-risk zones. flag Experts warn the danger is no longer confined to forests and that community-wide preparedness—rather than individual property measures—is essential to reduce damage, as another major grassfire event is now considered inevitable.
