Do not store flammable materials against the outside of your house.

In rural settings I often see firewood stacked against the house.  Especially during wildfire season, don't.  Bark landscaping should have a gap space so it isn't touching the siding.  Don't let tree branches rub against the house or grow to lay on the roof.  Don't let trash pile up close to the house.  

Keep a space between your house and any flammable items that could burn with enough heat to catch your buildings on fire.
