- at least two fire resistant sheet materials, each tailored to fit a specific portion of the roof and specific portions of at least two adjacent supporting walls of the building structure;
- each sheet material being folded to define at least one folded portion and an unfolded portion with each folded portion having dimensions adapted to fit the specific portion of one of the at least two adjacent supporting wall for its sheet material, and the unfolded portion having dimensions adapted to fit the specific portion of the roof and another supporting wall for its sheet material;
