Many of the suburbs and cities hit hardest in recent years were caught off-guard, and key stakeholders are racing to understand the dynamics that drive these fires

That was a close call for sure.
After reading your post I thought of sharing something that could be helpful. I understand that most probably you already know this stuff, but I see no harm in sharing this input.
Wildfires - Habitat Ready: Disaster preparedness for homeowners
Just to note that I found this article in this Disaster Response community.
One thing I’ve learned from the experience is to pick up a water pump and keep it handy for the future. When the houses were burning and my trees caught on fire I couldn’t do much at all to stop anything because there was no water pressure… I guess because the fire dept was using it all supplying all the trucks.
We could deal with the stuff on the ground, but couldn’t get enough pressure to shoot up into the trees so they had to divert a pumper truck to help. Once they got the upper parts managed we could take down the rest. A good pump would have helped a lot.
