Default Vinyl Siding and Pine Straw Warning

I am not posting this to cause trouble, I am just concerned. I am planning on buying in TV and one of my top choices is a vinyl home because of the floor plan. I live in Raleigh, NC and we had huge fire that burned six homes this week. They are saying the cause was an exterior fire that spread quickly in pine straw landscaping and the flames came in contact with vinyl siding. Please read the article (see link below) as I am no expert on this as a fire hazard but I would get the word out to your friends and neighbors to get rid of any pine straw they may have. I think I may even send this along to someone at TV. If you have any emails I should use please post them. Thanks.
