The fiberglass-based variety of asphalt shingles offers excellent fire resistance when installed with fire-code-compliant underlayments. There are wood shingles on the market that are treated in the factory to resist fire. You can also have pre-installed wood shingles treated but are slightly less effective than the factory finished type.
