Drought Resistant Fire Resistant Plants With Long Roots For Slop Hill In Southern California

Question

to whom it may concerns I have been searching the plants for my hill which is facing north, gets full fun, in zone 9. Initially, I just looked for the drought resistant ones with long root can prevent the slop erosion, due to the recent wildfire in Los Angeles, I realize I really need fire resistant plants. I looked up on the website, it looks like Lavendar is a good choice, I would like to know if you have other suggestions? thanks a lot Bonnie
