Like Craig says: know your emergency egress routes. And pick your campsite very carefully. Being deep in the trees is not the comfort it used to be. Make sure the grasses are not all into your campsite. And really, just forego an open fire or charcoal grill. There are still plenty of very nice dry camp sites out there. And if you plan carefully you may find some real well watered gems even in dry places like Nevada or southern Utah.
We recently spent 4 nights making our way back from my sister's place in Benson AZ. No reservations ahead of time but we found 4 great spots to spend the nite, 2 of which were in under-used campgrounds. One of those campgrounds had lots of open spaces and fantastic views. Our two boondocking sites were on BLM or USFS land -- so good maps will help a lot.
We consider how popular an area is, how much crappy road gets you where you want to be (the longer, the better), the time of day (try to stop mid afternoon at the latest) and the day of the week (mid-week is better).
But, back to the point, we always consider fire potential wherever we go. It is just the new normal, so we tell ourselves to adapt, suck it up, and enjoy what is still available -- which, again, is way more than we will ever see in our lifetimes.
