New roof destroyed same day

A NEWLY-SHAKED cedar
roof on a house in West
Vancouver lasted less than
90 minutes Tuesday.

The roofer finished off the
job and left the house at
6211 Overstone Drive at
about 7:45 p.m.. By 9:10
p.m. West Van firefighters
were busy tackling a blaze
which destroyed about half
the roof area.

Chief fire prevention
officer Art Ridley describes
it as “a fluke” blaze. He
attributes it to the fact that a
rubberized gutter membrane
on the facia boards finishing
off the sides of the roof had
to be softened with a torch in
the final stages of the roofing
yob.

Wood behind the gutter
began smoldering for about
an hour, he said, with the
roofer completley unaware
of it.

A neighbor spotted the
fire and alerted the oc
cupants of the house
