This Home Landscaping for Fire link is a superb publication from the University of California, Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (2007). The guidelines have changed a bit since 2007. Now there is an ember defense zone (zone 0) that is 0 to 5 feet from the house/structure. The Resilient Landscapes Coalition is a great resource for creating "a resilient landscape that is fire-wise, water-wise and promotes biodiversity by using California native plants."
Another good link is from Cal Fire. The link includes a short list of fire-resistant plants.
