Question:
I know pull-down attic stairs found in the garage need to be fire resistent, but what about when you find one in a bedroom or storage room . . . does the cover still need to be fire-resistant? and if so, 20 minutes? The pull down stairs assembly is made almost entirely of wood. Thanks in advance for your response. Mike Chris, Santa Clara, Utah

Only the garage needs a fire barrier (e.g. special drywall, special door) due to the higher risk of a fire in the garage.

Thanks Ralph, that's what I thought, just wanted to check with another, these old brain cells seem to get out of order every now and then.
