Here's a couple of links I saw on Twitter today regarding advice in the aftermath of the Black Forest fires in Colorado.

This one talks about insurance: http://wainsurance.blogspot.com/2013/06/wildfires-and-homeowners-insurance-five.html?spref=tw

This post shows the results of using good practices (long before a fire happens) to passively protect a home from wildfire: http://wildfire.blog.nfpa.org/2013/06/vi...able-areas.html

Be sure to watch the video referenced in the second link.

It seems to me that many people think a wildfire is only a rural problem, but it's not.
