Saw a demonstration of it going up in flames the next day on TV.
But of course any such demonstration may not be characteristic of the
product if installed correctly, and for the purpose intended.

For example, untreated T&G cladding is extremely inflammable if air can
get to either side easily. But mount it on suitable plasterboard etc, and
you get the same appearance but much better fire protection.
