Question about pull down attic stairs

[W. Michael Chris]

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.

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.
