Hey Angie, just a couple of weeks ago my FD responded to a "rekindle". The initial fire occured 2 days prior. The particle board smoldered beneath the roof flashing. The occupant of the structure stated, "I thought it was odd, every morning since the fire I would have to open the windows to let the smoke out". So it goes, particle board can smolder for quite some time after the fire is "out".
