What Class A means

Common Class A options
- Many metal roofing systems
- Many asphalt shingle products
- Clay and concrete tile
- Some treated or specially assembled products
Embers find the gaps
- Ember-resistant vents
- Closed gaps at eaves and ridges
- Clean, non-combustible gutters
- Clear pine needles from the roof
Rules
California's Chapter 7A wildland-urban interface rules apply in designated fire hazard areas. Nevada jurisdictions around the lake also have wildfire-related requirements. Check with your building department for your address.
