Minnesota was incredibly successful a few years ago with a large forested area called the Boundary Waters that had several million acres of trees blow down. This is largely national forest with limited roads, but cabins, lake homes and other structures. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources put together a program called Firewise. Many homes have been saved. Clearing the brush and sprinklering the exposure including humidification of the air around the structure. See http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/firewise/index.html for more information. This website give you minimal cost options all the way to replacing your roof and much much more.
