If your wood frame house has been on fire on the inside long enough to scorch a wood frame through the drywall or damage the drywall itself, concrete construction isn't gonna be much better for you the owner/resident.

If a California wildfire comes through and ravages the area, your fireproof building will still be there, but the walls will heat soak can and then set things on fire inside a fireproof building.

Walls would have to be made of iron to soak enough heat to burn anything inside. Typical walls are made of good isolators, you would need several days of constant fire to conduct that kind of heat. Windows on the other hand are typically what lets the fire inside. They just break after less than a minute of high temperature flame.
