I was never much into the high speed gardening that is wildland firefighting but was S130/S190 (Basic Wildland Firefighter) certified. The biggest takeaway with wildland or urban interface areas is mitigation. It helps with smaller fires and in bigger fires, firefighters will try to save houses with good mitigation by the homeowner. They perform structure triage, usually even before hand, to determine which houses they will try and save. So do some mitigation.

Next, and this is not just with fire, but get out sooner rather than later. Learn about the hazards near you and develop trigger points for when to evacuate. You may not have time for someone to tell you to leave, so figure it out for yourself.
