Where are the safer places? Pretty much everywhere habitable in California is at high risk of wildfires and/or earthquakes (plus floods in the Delta region). Instead of placing certain areas off limits a better solution is defensible space and stricter building codes. For example, build metal roofs.

If they're all the same, why are there fire risk maps for California showing some places to be riskier than others?

Anywhere that’s burned recently or doesn’t have dense trees near housing is lower risk. Not all of California is woodland, etc.
