I have a friend who got through the huge Laguna Beach fire in 1993. Both houses on each side of him burnt to the ground. While scorched, his house totally escaped the fire.

His house was totally landscaped in ice plant and had a slate roof. These were million dollar houses even back then.

He admitted later that he planted it because it requires low maintenance....never even thought about fire protection.
