Install fire sprinklers on the rooftop if you have a good water supply, backed up with a generator or water pump. That's what my wife and I are doping right now. We have a productive well, backup diesel generator, sprinklers, and permanent plumbing instead of ordinary hoses. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, which has done extensive research into this, recommends you aim to lay down one inch of precipitation per 24 hour day, which work out to only 1.0 mm per hour. That's easy to do, and turning on the sprinklers as late as one hour prior to the arrival of the fire will protect almost all structures. BUT.......follow the Fire Smart rules first! Get rid of those shrubs, door mats, clogged gutters etc.
There’s no such thing as a “wild” fire. There’s just fire. Brush fire or forest fire are better terms if you want to distinguish from a structure fire.
