My neighborhood (in Canada) is mostly brick overwood frame, but then my house (and most of this area) are around 100 years old (my house is 104 I think, built in 1914), pus no real worries about wildfires in this part of Canada.
On the other hand, urban envirnments have their own fire dangers. A rowhouse (in this case, six 2-story homes that are attached side by side to form a single structure) just across and down the street was gutted by a fire this morning. Not sure where the fire started but it looks like the whole set is wrecked. The attic space was originally just 1 chamber the length of the building though they added dividers back in the 60s to try and act as firebreaks, but it doesn't seem to have been enough this time.
looks like the roof has fallen in over 4 of the 6 homes, and the 5th at least looks to have some damage. not sure about the unit on the far end.
