They might even be speaking from experience. Most people don't really plan on where and when their fires take place, so it is nice to take preemptive measures to help minimize the damage. I believe much of the thatch and bamboo poles from Oceanic Arts are available with the option of fire retardant treatments. They're issued with a California State Fire Marshal's Certificate. (An inspector once told me that CA sets many of the code standards used in other states anyway) He also told me a story of a person running down the hallway of a burning hotel and the fire passed this person on the walls because the wallpaper was not treated with a fire retardant. Sorry for the rant...those stories just creep me out. Although, Tiki_Bong does bring up a good point about stupid people too :wink:
