The following paragraph was from the article on this fire on the CNN website;

"The cause is unknown, but Steele (Fire Chief) said the flames spread quickly because construction workers had recently applied a flammable wood preservative to the exterior of the house. The preservative was also being applied inside the house."

I may have been in New England too long, but I've never heard of doing this to a wood structure. Anybody else? What kind of an impact would this have on a 13D system?
