    Bill Hendricks of Safer Building Solutions based in Clarksburg, CA, measures a brick of burning wood at 1400 degrees on a section of wood roofing that his company treated with a fire retardant during a wildfire prevention workshop hosted by the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic Forest Fire Protection Compacts at the Mystic Hilton in Mystic, Wednesday, Dec. 7, 2016. The demonstration showed that the roofing did not catch or spread the fire that Hendricks applied. The workshop started Tuesday and concludes Thursday afternoon featuring fire safety professionals from 14 states and Canada. (Tim Cook/The Day)
