Masonry construction, metal roofs, and metal roll down shutters should greatly reduce risk. Lots of gravel landscaping near the house, clear the trees back (it looked like a lot of the burned houses there were actually on clear cut land).
One can’t eliminate the danger, but one can affirmatively reduce risk.
Radiation through windows causes interiors to burst into flame. That shows how hot these fires are. Also, forced air convection will suck burning embers and superheated air right into your attic via the eave vents and set the attic on fire. Good fire resistant roofs are helpful, but not sufficient.
See my post at 45 about an article in Fine Homebuilding June 1995 on fire resistant design.
