FIRE IMPACT ON METAL ROOFING | Ask The Experts Forum

Guest User 7/15/2004	What is the effect of a fire in a house with a metal roof? How can the firemen be able to fight it from the roof since the roof will be hot and hard to cut in?	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3461/find/
Guest User 7/16/2004	Because it does not start breaking down quickly in the event of a fire, metal actually provides a good and stable platform for firefighters. Cutting into the panels is also fairly easy and most firefighters have been trained how to vent roofs through a typical metal covering. While the thicknesses of metal used are plenty adequate for strength and durability, they are by no means what would be used on an armored vehicle. :-)	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/3462/find/
