I'm pretty sure that's not the main way fires start in homes. If it's an external fire, it's usually flames up against the house. Some flames can travel quite a distance (from house to house in the suburbs for an example) if there's enough wind. One main place they come into the house is through a window, hence why I suggested exterior shutters that have a fire blocking material in my "dream house." But, keeping fires off the roof is one more part of the puzzle that does need to be addressed.
