Yep more attic than roof but I'm sure I'm adding semantics. Common attic good chance to lose the block. Something, anything dividing the attic and a good chance to stop it at 1 unit. Been to both.

And most eastern cities built before 1940, you have seen a hundred times on the news a Row House fire that just gutted the structure. You'll also have noted that those that do extend the damage to the next house usually do so because the roof burned across to the next structure. Those 3 brick party walls may not meet any fire rating or standard of today, but seem to have been very efficient in stopping a fire spread from house to house.
