Eventually, it will all burn. The fire proofed thatch would only work out if conditions were normal and someone flicked a cigerette on top of it, that it isn't supposed to ignite under those types of circumstances. Even fireworks, but the hot constant embers in the air, the low humidity and the Santa Ana winds, I don't think the fire retardent is meant to ward off such a fire enviroment. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't count on chemically fireproofed thatch in a firestorm. [ Edited by: Tom Slick 2007-11-08 08:51 ]
