Sure Japan did it, so did Mexico. The latter is probably much more important as an example for the US.

    Many of the gouses burning weren't built to current codes, but the cost to retrofit houses to code was insurmountable by any of the owners and apparently by the state or even the nation. So they will just wait for them all to burn and then rebuild them I guess?

I would be interested to know how Japan combats wildfires. Historically at least it was quite a big problem, if I recall correctly.
