Vent screening is what decides it in Hidden Hills where ember intrusion is a real risk rather than a theoretical one. Exposed sites in Hidden Hills need closer fastening patterns than the manufacturer's flat-ground minimum.
Lifting a few tiles in two or three places is the only way to date the underlayment on a Hidden Hills tile roof covering, and it takes fifteen minutes.
