Oh, I stand corrected then. The fibreglass shingle I remember were
fakes for cedar shakes (they make them in aluminum as well). I don't
remember asbestos roofing shingles - although I installed many squares
of asbestos siding shingles.... back in the 50s and early 60s.

I dunno about the fire code haveing a lot to do with the shingles -
except as a gesture. Burning roofing scrap produces a typically
"petroleum" blaze with orange-red flames and dense black smoke.

ENJOY!!!
