Do bushfires get hot enough to ignite aluminium? A quick google suggests that aluminium ignites at about 2000C which combined with being a great reflector of light and even better for infra-red means that it's probably going to resist anything a bushfire can do from a distance. So aluminium shutters should do.
Ignites, maybe not.. melts tho @ 660.32°C
