McKinney is not mapped in a California-style wildfire hazard zone, but western and northern edges near rural Collin County include wildland-urban interface (WUI) parcels. Fire Department uses Texas A&M Forest Service risk data.
The Texas A&M Forest Service Wildfire Risk Explorer provides parcel-level risk ratings. McKinney Fire Department promotes Firewise USA defensible space: 30 ft lean, clean, and green zone around structures, noncombustible roofing, ember-resistant vents. No statewide building code mandates Chapter 7A ignition-resistant construction like California, but IFC 2021 Chapter 49 WUI provisions are available for adoption on high-risk parcels.
