Tips to protect your home during forest fires

We're experiencing serious drought and heat domes that are pretty shocking in European standards in France. The area where i live normally doesn't get affected much by forest fires, but the second heat wave is arriving, the brush is really dry, the leaves in the forest are still green so far, but it's only beginning of july so if serious rains do not come we're seriously at risk.
As i said we're ill prepared here. In the village where i live we have no water for the fire brigade. They come with a minute of water worth and have to go and get it in a village closeby. And then they have two storage trucks going making sure there is water to work with...But what if there is fire in 3 villages?
But i live next to a big forest and i start to be worried about it. I wrote to the old people living in the village to come and meet up to discuss, but it would be good for me to hear of things people do in other places where they're used to living with forest fire phenomena what they do and have done. Because one tip can already save a house and change a life big time for the better.

We have a long history of wildfires where i live. Second only to California in intensity and land lost, year over year.  We have surprisingly few homes lost because there is so much expierence of increasingly worse wildfire over the last 50 years.

Here is what the government (in conjunction with insurance guys) recommend

This year they are focusing on things we can do now, like mowing the lawn BEFORE it dries (after can risk sparks), moving stuff away from the home, cleaning gutters....

Usually the focus is more on landscaping and the zones upto 100m around the home.  Get rid of easy path for forest fires (because that's one small category of the wildfires we get, but most risk to housing) to travel to the house.  Trees near the house are best if they are juicy and don't burn easily alive like short fruit trees to help clean the air.  Just knowing some plants catch fire easily while green (or even burst alight in hot weather) and some resist burning.

Permaculture techniques that hold water in the earth, like berms and rain gardens are another part of it.  Fire can travel through soil very quickly if dry.

Anyway, each location has different fire risks, but as our coastal climate is much like southern europe, it's a good starting place on how to minimize risks if wildfire comes too close.

For us, wildfire isn't a matter of if, it's when.  It's good to have something we can do about it.
