You can build essentially fireproof houses using non-combustible materials. (Concrete, rockwool, steel framing, aluminum window frames, metal roofing etc…) and you can further protect by keeping the area around the home free of fuel.

If the fire gets close enough, the windows may break from heat, you still have smoke to deal with, and even a fireproof home can still slowly become an oven. Indoor temperatures can easily become unsurvivable.

Evacuation is always proscribed, followed by non-combustible construction coupled with strict control of fuel.
