What exactly is the firewall, the ceiling, or attic compartments?

Wires in walkway access.

Missing header for rafter support

Missing door closer if a compartment separation

Improper walkway access

Damaged or improper ventilation duct wrap and installation

And that is only what I see from a small picture.
