 In Australia we have a recommended distance between buildings and trees to help stop things burning quite as quickly. We also have intense building codes for places that are deemed at risk of fire and a lot of it is to do with stopping embers blowing into the building envelope itself but even with that places still burn because it only prevents it up to a point and nothing will really stop the sorts of fires we copped last summer.

 In Australia we are heavily on the side of metal roofing most of it corrugated. Even the clear stuff comes with a tek screw that only really differs from the normal variety with a jumbo sized rubber cup that not only clamps the sheets down but provides a weather seal and expansion room.
