A roofing shingle includes organic, resinous material and an inorganic filler material, the single having a top surface, two side surfaces, an upper end, and a lower or butt end, defining a cavity on the underside of the shingle, with ribs positioned within the cavity. When applied to a roof, the shingle has the appearance of wooden shake shingle and provides a Class A fire barrier when tested according to ASTM test E108-93 for flame spread, burning brand and intermittent flame.

An angled roofing shingle for a roof ridge line is made from an organic, resinous material and a filler material. The shingle has a first elongated portion and a separable, second elongated portion. These two portions each have a longitudinal edge provided with a mating edge surface and are joined together at an angle less than 180 degrees so that the shingle can cover and conform to the ridge line. Means are included for moving the first and second elongated portions relative to each other to change the angle of the shingle to accommodate a variety of angles of ridge lines.

A roof includes a roof deck and a plurality of roofing shingles where the roofing shingles have the appearance of a wooden shake shingle and comprise organic, resinous material in, preferably a plastic material, an amount within the range of from about 16 to about 24 percent by weight, and a filler material in an amount within the range of from about 76 to about 84 percent by weight. The roof provides a Class A fire barrier when tested according to ASTM test E108-93 for flame spread, burning brand and intermittent flame.
