It’s possible it will make the home easier to cool but it will also could extend the life of your Shingles.

As for a problem during a fire of solar attic fans.

If the fire is inside your home the fans won’t really change anything unless you have a big hole in your ceiling.

If the fire is in the attic the small fans will melt and the fixed vents or ridge vents will still allow air flow.
Your shingles are 30 years shingles. That fan isn't going to cool anything with the blistering sun beating on it. Sit on your roof with a fan and let me know how that works out.
