why do you think most fire reports include wind speed? wind can easily disperse the embers and burning or smoking material from the fire, that's how one fire can become 10 different fires in a short time 50 meters or 100 meters may not make much difference depending on the intensity of the fire, humidity conditions and wind speed
Wood is fuel and the fuel burns everything around it... The closer you keep fuel (trees & shrubs) close to your house the more you enhance the fire. undecided

But why can't they pump water from the ocean to quench the fire? They could build artificial lakes to serve as sea water reservoirs for these emergencies.

Or they could install as many fire hydrant pumps in linear or centrifugal patttern fed with underground pipes suppled with sea water across the vulnerable region.

Human beings sha. We invest billions to build oil and gas pipelines but nobody is investing in building water pipelines to combat fire. Is oil more important than water?
