Oh my.....wooden shingles on a house in CA? Asking for trouble.

I attended a firefighting school with the national Guard in southern California shortly after the Belair fire. They showed a movie they made but were not allowed to show on TV.

The fire would skip some of the houses. The reason those houses were skipped and weren't burned was because they had fire-proof roofs. All those that burned had wooden shingles.

I guess they didn't learn anything.
