    Can someone tell me why anyone would still have a shake shingle roof(unless they are destitute)?

    Just heard the same old story house with SSR is toast next to other houses that have anything but a SSR that are fine.

    Do insurance companies provide coverage for houses with SSR’s?

    Nailing kindling to your roof in known fire hazard areas. Brilliant.

    When I was a kid, my folks got a new roof and tossed some old shake shingle in the fireplace to see how it burned. The stuff nearly exploded, it burned so fast. Almost like it had been soaked in fuel. One of the houses near us had burned down because of a bottle rocket…. I can’t imagine a raging fire like these getting near those old rooftops without torching it.

    Nail on the head, Bub…

    been driving round this summer thinking about the drought, wondering why in the world, in this environ, you’d have ANYTHING besides tile?

    yo,

     

    When you have a firestorm, it won't matter if it's tile or shake. It all burns down. Moot point.
