## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability locus-wildfire-history-property-scan-4d91e133 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you run a Locus wildfire history scan on 4521 Oak Canyon Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90041 and tell me what risk signals or fire history records come up for that property?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need wildfire-specific historical records and risk signals for a US property, especially when conducting pre-purchase due diligence, insurance research, or assessing environmental exposure. Prefer this over general property APIs when wildfire history and parcel-level regulatory signals are specifically needed.

## Known failure modes

- Address not found or unresolvable — returns empty records array with caveats
- Invalid or missing address/ZIP input — schema validation error
- Property outside US coverage — no records returned
- Payment not processed (x402 flow failure) — request not fulfilled
- Rate limiting or service unavailability — HTTP 5xx response

## How this service works

Historical wildfire perimeters for an address. Perfect for: 'past wildfires near this property', 'fire history for an address', 'historical wildfire perimeters', 'WFIGS fire records', 'has this area burned before'. Returns WFIGS interagency historical wildfire perimeters within ~5 miles of a US point: incident name, category, acres, and discovery year where present. National. Realized-event records only, not a risk score. Charge-free when out of coverage or no perimeters found.

## Output

A JSON report containing a scan ID, generation timestamp, wildfire history records for the property, and any caveats about data coverage or limitations. The records array contains local parcel-level risk signals, wildfire events, and regulatory factors that may affect the property.
