- oliveshell 6y agoYup. My uncle's house burned down, years ago, due to careless use of a torch to apply tar roofing.
- myself248 6y agoIt blows my mind that the torch isn't fed with two hoses: One of propane-or-whatever, and one of CO2. If something goes badly, you literally move one finger and start extinguishing the fire. Why on earth would you want the problem closer at-hand than the solution?
- m4rtink 6y agoThat's simple - cost and convenience. You would have to buy, maintain and lug to the roof yet another heavy preassure vessel. Also twice the hoses & more likely the two will get entangled. Having a fire extinguisher at hand seems like a better option.
