Piling firewood next to the house would actually increase the fire danger as it provides fuel for the fire to spread. Clearing brush and trees around the house, using a metal roof, using fire-resistant material for a deck or covering it with fire-resistant material, and maintaining and watering a lawn around the house all help minimize fire danger.
