A Data-Driven Conversation about the US West’s Megadrought

Current climate conditions in the West reveal that 2021 may have a higher than normal risk for wildfire losses. While much of this report focuses on California, historically the worst victim of wildfire in the US, the entire western US is of concern in 2021. In particular, the expansion of deep drought into Colorado is of major concern.

Drought is a leading factor in seasonal wildfire risk. With drought extending through every western state this spring, insurers should consider looking deeply into how they are addressing this growing peril. According to AON, last year’s wildfires in the US West cost insurers over $8 billion.

We've released a complete detailing the devastating potential for 2021's wildfire season. The full report is available here.

Research across more than 71,000 properties involved in wildfires draws significant links between fuel management and property survival.

Oakland,Calif., April 8, 2021: Zesty^AI, a leader in climate risk analytics powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) today released new research on how fuel management impacts destruction rates from wildfires. They found property owners who clear vegetation from the perimeter of their home or building can nearly double their structure's likelihood of surviving a wildfire.

Zesty^AI, in conjunction with, IBHS studied more than 71,000 properties involved in wildfires between 2016 and 2019 to assess the relationship between vegetation, buildings, and property vulnerability. To do this, Zesty^AI leveraged a combination of computer vision and AI to analyze high resolution satellite and aerial imagery of the properties that fell within the wildfire perimeter, which allowed them to determine what effects a property's physical environment had on its likelihood of survival. They found buildings with a high amount of vegetation within 5 feet of the structure were destroyed in a wildfire 78 percent of the time -- a rate nearly twice as high as those with small amounts of perimeter vegetation. This pattern held true as Zesty^AI analyzed the other defensible zones, ranging from 30 to 100 feet around the property.

"It's common sense that increased vegetation increases wildfire risk, but this study shows just how powerful individual action can be in safeguarding structures. Mitigation actions that can cut risk nearly in half are statistically meaningful to anyone with a stake in this peril," said Attila Toth, CEO of Zesty^AI. "These findings also underscore how wildfire research at IBHS and artificial intelligence at Zesty^AI translates to real-world impact at the intersection of homeowners, community leaders, regulators, and insurance carriers. This type of collective action will help protect our communities from the devastating impact of wildfire, which unfortunately has continued to increase over the last decade."

The study also supported and confirmed takeaways from IBHS's Suburban Wildfire Adaptation Roadmaps released last year, which go beyond the home ignition zone to detail additional actions needed across eight aspects of a home to address a home's wildfire vulnerability. Zesty^AI's new research found that having other structures in close proximity to a property increases its wildfire risk, particularly for properties in areas with moderate to high vegetation coverage. Buildings in these areas that had another structure within 30 to 100 feet from the property were destroyed in a wildfire 60 percent of the time, compared to a 31 percent destruction rate for homes without another structure in close proximity.

"This research further demonstrates to homeowners, community leaders, and policy makers just how impactful taking the mitigation actions laid out in the Suburban Wildfire Adaptation Roadmaps can be in protecting homes from wildfire ignition," said Roy E. Wright, President & Chief Executive Officer at IBHS. "Quantifying the effect of mitigating fuel density risk, one of the critical actions identified in the Roadmaps, is a first piece in the larger puzzle of what groups of mitigation actions most improve the chance of home survival and by what level."

Zesty^AI is uniquely equipped to support this type of research because of the proprietary wildfire property loss database it developed for Z-FIRE™, its AI model that generates property-specific predictive risk scores. Z-FIRE™ has been trained on more than 1,200 wildfire events across several decades and accounts for the property-level factors that contribute to wildfire risk, including defensible space, building material, and roof pitch, which legacy models fail to consider.

Wright added, "While it is not possible to eliminate wildfire risk we are not powerless against it. We must take a pragmatic approach to mitigate risk at all levels and ultimately reduce property damage through data and science. Through collaborations with modelling organizations like Zesty^AI, advanced technology like computer vision and AI help us better understand the impact of these actions at a larger scale. It is encouraging to see emerging progress in just the first months of 2021."

As of September 18th, between $5.9Bn and $9.8Bn in losses have occurred this year alone.

The Zest
Zesty^AI has been keeping a close eye on the wildfires burning in the Western United States. Whether by evacuation or smoke, most of our employees have felt the impact firsthand.
Utilizing our vast wildfire data and artificial intelligence resources, we have estimated that as of September 18th, between $5.9Bn and $9.8Bn in losses have occurred this year alone.

What has made 2020 unique?
Two key aspects have made the 2020 Wildfire Season exceptional: the number of acres burned and the timing of the fires.

2018, which previously held the California record for acres burned at 1,975,086 has been eclipsed with months left in the seasons. More than 3.3 million acres have already been charred by wildfire this year in California alone, and more than 5 million in the Western US.

Fire season tends to start in September and peak in November. In August, a large scale lightning event occurred, triggering many of the California wildfires. Oregon, which typically has a shorter wildfire season has also seen early and widespread wildfires.

Analysis Methodology
Using Zesty^AI’s comprehensive historical wildfire loss data, up-to-date wildfire perimeter locations for the 2020 season, residential and commercial property information, and fueled by Zesty^AI’s AI-driven wildfire damage risk scores, the expected destruction and cost of the 2020 wildfire season so far was calculated for California, Oregon, and Washington.

To estimate the destruction and damages, Zesty^AI identified every structure involved in the 2020 wildfire perimeters and their associated wildfire vulnerabilities. Using the historical relationship between the risk profile of the structure, asset value, and economic loss, Zesty^AI was able to estimate the full economic loss of those events (including non-insured assets such as uninsured property, and non-insured economic cost). Actual information from CalFire on CZU and LNU incident was used to validate the methodology.

From our extensive historical loss data, a relationship between structural damage expected and the cost of wildfire events was developed based on local property and loss information and expanded to include additional considerations such as smoke damage, displacement costs, and construction.

The 5 Most Destructive Fires So Far
Our estimates place the Claremont-Bear (North Complex) at the top of the list of most destructive in terms of number of properties lost. Four of these five wildfires occurred in California with the Alameda Drive fire occurring in Oregon.

The 5 Most Expensive Fires So Far
While the Claremont-Bear (North Complex) fire is estimated to have destroyed the most properties, the CZU Lightning Complex fire is currently estimated to be the most costly at up to $2.6B. That makes it responsible for ~27% of all total economic losses from fires in the 2020 season so far. 

Putting Numbers on Destruction
By Zesty^AI estimates, between $5.9Bn and $9.8Bn of economic losses have occurred in California, Oregon, and Washington so far this year. California, which also leads in acres burned (5M+) makes up the lion’s share at up to $7.9B.

It’s important to state that the fire season is not yet over. In much of the Western US, it could be just beginning. With a number of fires still active and the potential for more to start, these numbers are almost certain to rise between now and the end of the year.

Looking Forward
Multiple estimates place the 2018 wildfire season at around $15Bn in total losses. While exceptional in terms of total acres burned, the 2020 wildfire season has not yet reached that level of economic loss. Without any doubt, this will be one of the costliest years on record, and with months left in the season, the potential exists for this year to surpass 2018 if it continues at its current pace.

Zesty^AI will continue to monitor this fire season. As in years past, new data continues to refine our models and analyses. Insurance professionals and media who would like more information about this analysis or about how artificial intelligence can help insurers protect themselves and their customers from wildfire should contact us.

The Challenge: A Complex and Scaling System

Business Context

At ZestyAI, we deliver critical insights to insurance clients using machine learning models. Our API processes a significant volume of data, including imagery, geolocation, and structured data, to produce real-time results. The complexity of each request places immense demands on our infrastructure:

• Synchronous API Calls: Each request must be processed in real-time, with all insights delivered back to the client in a single response. Low latency is non-negotiable, as our clients’ workflows rely on immediate feedback.
• Multiple ML Models Per Request: Each request may invoke up to 30 ML models, ranging from computer vision models analyzing aerial imagery to models synthesizing geospatial and tabular data.
• Growing Model Catalog: The catalog of ML models we deploy continues to expand, driven by both customer needs and internal innovation. Each new model adds additional complexity to the system.
• Exceptional Reliability: Our clients in the insurance sector demand a system that operates flawlessly, with uptime and accuracy critical to their decision-making processes.

Previous Architecture: A Decentralized Model

In our previous system, each ML model operated as an independent microservice. Each model scaled independently, and each instance required its own GPU. While functional, this architecture introduced critical issues:

• Resource Underutilization: GPUs were underutilized, with non-GPU tasks consuming significant time.
• Scaling Challenges: Periods of high API traffic put additional strain on system components, leading to some inefficiencies.

• Capacity Limitations: The previous architecture had constraints that limited scalability, which could have restricted future growth.

This architecture also resulted in significant operational complexity. Each model’s independent deployment meant substantial manual effort in testing, scaling, and troubleshooting. Cloud costs also escalated rapidly as new models were added, creating diminishing returns for each improvement in service quality. 

The Solution: A Centralized Architecture with Triton

Faced with scaling challenges and rising customer demand, we reimagined the entire architecture. At the heart of the solution was NVIDIA’s Triton Inference Server, a tool designed for efficient multi-model serving.

Why Triton?

Triton enabled:

• Shared GPU resources across models.
• Ensemble models to define workflows using configuration rather than code.
• Extensive benchmarking tools for performance optimization.
• Support for various backends, including Python and Pytorch.

However, Triton required significant investment in layers of customization to meet our needs. Its low-level interface and lack of native autoscaling demanded a tailored implementation.

New Architecture: The Monster Pod

To maximize Triton’s potential, we introduced the “Monster Pod,” consolidating all models and supporting microservices into a single Kubernetes pod. Key features included:

• Single-host model serving: All models resided in a unified Triton instance.
• Integrated workflow management: The workflow orchestrator and other microservices were co-located with Triton.
• Streamlined scaling: Each pod functioned as an independent unit, simplifying horizontal scaling.

This “Monster Pod” approach offered numerous benefits:

Improved Resource Utilization

• Maximized GPU usage by serving multiple models per instance.
• Reduced the overhead associated with multiple nodes and microservices.

Simplified Testing and Benchmarking

• Each pod contained all necessary components, enabling comprehensive testing in isolation.
• Benchmarking provided clear insights into throughput and resource requirements.

Reduced Scaling Overhead

• Eliminated dependency on Istio for internal traffic management.
• Simplified node provisioning and scheduling.

Predictable Costs

• Each pod corresponds to a fixed node cost, allowing accurate cost planning. 

Lessons Learned

This project revealed critical insights that extend beyond Triton or even ML systems:

1. The "Microservices vs. Monolith" Debate Isn’t Binary
Architectural decisions don’t have to be all-or-nothing. For instance, while our deployment consolidated models into a single pod, we retained microservices for other aspects of the platform. Evaluating “single vs. many” decisions at multiple levels allowed us to optimize each layer independently.

2. Understand the Bottlenecks Before Designing Solutions
Identifying the root causes of inefficiency—scaling overhead, resource underutilization, network traffic—helped us design a system that addressed these challenges holistically rather than incrementally.

3. The Power of Consolidation
Integrating multiple components into a single deployment reduced complexity, improved performance, and simplified scaling. This approach may not suit every scenario, but in our case, it delivered transformative results.

4. Be Open to Temporary Solutions (Flexibility Leads to Innovation) 
The “Monster Pod” started as a quick workaround but became a permanent fixture due to its outsized impact. Being open to experimentation unlocked unexpected benefits, such as easier resource planning and reduced operational complexity.

Business Impact

Rebuilding our ML inference platform was a bold move that paid off. The new architecture produced dramatic improvements across key metrics:

• Latency: API response times were halved.
• Capacity: System throughput increased by 10x, eliminating the previous capacity ceiling.
• Cost Efficiency: Cloud costs for model serving dropped by 75%.

These gains position us to scale with growing demand while maintaining industry-leading performance. Additionally, the simplified architecture has freed up engineering resources to focus on innovation rather than maintenance.

While Triton Inference Server played a critical role, the real success lay in our architectural decisions and willingness to rethink the status quo. This project underscores the value of experimentation and the importance of tailoring solutions to meet unique challenges.

The lessons learned from this journey will continue to inform our approach to system design and scalability as we look ahead. The Monster Pod has not only transformed our current capabilities—but has also set the stage for future growth and innovation.
