Temple Terrace is not in a high-risk wildland-urban interface like central Florida scrub areas, but natural areas along the Hillsborough River and nearby preserves carry seasonal wildfire risk. No formal wildfire hazard zone designation applies to most city properties.
Florida Forest Service maintains statewide wildfire risk mapping. Temple Terrace's urban canopy and irrigated lawns reduce ignition risk relative to Polk or Pasco County scrub zones. Residents near the Hillsborough River greenway, Riverhills Park, and wooded CDD edges should follow Firewise USA practices: noncombustible mulch within 5 ft, pruned tree canopy, and cleared gutters. Insurance underwriters generally do not apply wildfire surcharges within city limits.
