Sure Ron what steps do you take to fireproof your cabin. I've had some great advice from our local forestry folks but am interested in what you'd recommend

First step is to clear the trees within a reasonable distance of the cabin. Not a big clearing as such, maybe out a tree length from the cabin, this also protects you cabin from blow down trees . Then as Yukon mentioned prune the branches up on the trees all around the site. Clean up and burn all the ground debris out about 100 feet in all directions, make it park like. You can scarify the ground around the cabin with a rake and then seed it to clover which greens the area up. Keep your wood pile and other combustibles that will start fire from sparks away from the cabin. Out from your pruned area cut a fire guard about 12 feet wide clear of all trees and debris. If there is a spot close by that is a bit of a clearing clean it out for a helicopter to land in case there is a wildfire in the area. Fire crews are now set up with sprinkler systems to protect structures, but only if accessible. Your fire break is an opportunity for the fire crews to scarify a guard to mineral soil and do a burn off. Fire proofing properly is a lot of extra work and ongoing but may pay dividends in the future if you are in a high risk area. That heli spot may serve as medical evac spot, heaven forbid you should ever need that.

What I describe is ideal but any variation of fire proofing may help save your cabin from wildfire should one happen in your area.
