At 3:25 the text indicates the attic gable vent is screened with 1/8 inch mesh. Is it metal or fiberglass? Embers can be seen entering the attic but there's no explanation. Did the mesh melt and admit embers, or is FireSmart BC suggesting 1/8 inch metal mesh is not appropriate? I ask because south of the border the authorities have been urging homeowners to upgrade to 1/8 inch metal mesh. Marin County Fire in California, for example, is especially knowledgeable about hardening homes against fire.
