You have to use a thicker piece of siding because the heat from the torch can warp a thinner board, and make sure you get your siding with a "rabbited bevel" rather than just beveled. The rabbit joint creates an overlap between the boards so if there is a wildfire the fire can't race up the wall and get under the siding. The great thing about charred wood is that it doesn't burn in a wildfire. Also do all your door and window trim.
