Planting choices make a big difference to whether you feed or starve a wild fire. The truth is all plants can burn but low growing, ground hugging ones are less likely to cause a problem, especially if they're varieties that hold a lot of moisture in their leaves. Native perennials can be a good choice in an area where fire risk is prevalent as they grow there naturally anyway.
Where plants are placed and how they're maintained including pruning and debris removal can make a huge difference in reducing your fire risk. Adequate spacing between plants, shrubs and trees, and ensuring plenty of landscaping materials like gravel or rocks in between them is an important element in firescaping designs too.
