Five-point flammability rating (VL / L / M / H / VH; the perennials table also uses the ranges L-M and L-H) across eight tables of trees, shrubs, ground covers, vines, perennials, and grasses, plus a mulch table. Verdict map: VL and L = recommend, M = mixed, H and VH = avoid; range ratings = mixed. Ratings are the authors' expert experience, not a published key.

The only rated Midwest flammability list; recovered from the defunct firewise.org file area via the Wayback Machine (sole surviving copy). Co-author Larry Steward (OSU ATI) is also the rater behind the Fire Performance Plant Selector, so B921 and FPS are not fully independent. Siting guidance is per plant category, not per row; the mulch table is recorded in guides, not as plant records. The archived PDF is 1,053,160 bytes; SHA-256: a383aab09f3daff6d3600bd2366b27e4ae3a79d442272e691ee236070b6c372b.
