For those building owners and property managers unsure of what Truss roofs are, here is an excellent picture example. A truss used in roof construction carries the weight of roof deck and framing and of wind loads on the upper chord; an example is a Fink truss.
Truss roofs are typically more decorative and are not like typical flat roofs. They look very appealing to the eyes and may hold up well in high winds (typically seen a lot in South Florida during hurricane season), but in a case of a serious fire, they can be deadly to first-responders.
