Flagstaff Fire Department Tests Different Deck Materials:
The Flagstaff Fire Department tested four brands of Composite deck materials and wood decking. Trex was the only composite material that performed well:
"Most of the composite materials ignited easily and resulted in high to extreme fire severity (fig. 4).But Trex,* a material made from plastic and wood, performed well. Trex was more difficult to ignite than the other composites and ultimately self-extinguished (fig. 5). Trex's fire resistance appeared to result from its density. The composites that performed poorly were less dense."

As a TrexPro Deck contractor, I recommend Trex as the only composite decking material to use. Typically a Trex deck is installed on Doug-Fir Framing members. We stain the top edge of the framing members before applying the deck boards. This helps the framing to last longer and color coordinate with the Trex material (light colored framing would otherwise be visible between the recommended 1/4" gap in the deck boards).
