Cincinnati sits in a climate zone where winter temperatures swing above and below freezing multiple times per week. When firefighting water saturates compromised roof decking in January or February, it freezes overnight and expands. This expansion forces delamination in OSB and plywood substrates. When temperatures rise the next day, the ice melts and saturates the decking again. This freeze-thaw cycle repeats for weeks, accelerating rot and structural failure. A fire-damaged roof in Phoenix dries out quickly. A fire-damaged roof in Cincinnati deteriorates rapidly if not stabilized immediately.
