Gordon Wildfire: Protect Your Home with Fire-Resistant Metal Roofing

Gordon Wildfire: A Reminder of the Importance of Fire-Resistant Roofing

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of last week’s Gordon wildfire, the largest forest fire to hit northern Wisconsin in over three decades. While it’s a relief that no one was injured, the fire caused significant devastation, destroying 17 homes, 30 structures, and parts of northwest Wisconsin’s picturesque landscape.

Events like this remind us of the importance of fire-resistant materials when protecting our homes, no matter where we live.

Why Fire-Resistant Roofing Matters

A home’s roof is often the first line of defense in a wildfire. Investing in fire-resistant roofing can make the difference between protecting your property and losing everything. Bjorkstrand Metal Roofing’s stone-coated steel roofing carries a Class A fire rating—the highest in the industry—offering superior resistance to fire and peace of mind for homeowners.

Proven Protection in Devastating Fires

1983 Oakland, CA Fire: Homes with Stone-Coated Steel Roofs were the only ones to survive the fire unscathed.

2003 San Diego, CA Fire: Bob and Micheline Gerson credited their metal roof for saving their historic home from a four-alarm blaze. Despite intense heat and close proximity to flames, the steel roof prevented the fire from spreading into their house, leaving only minor scorch marks under the eaves.

These real-world examples demonstrate how high-quality fire-resistant roofing can save homes and lives in critical situations.
