No question about the fire...

I walk across ceiling joists everytime I can (must have 3 points of contact).

Now, the one that is a real ass-whoppin is crawling across the ceiing joists on your knees and hands because of the lack of head height clearances.

Here is my boiler at the top of the attic section so the client reads it first:

"The entire attic was not accessible to safely traverse due to the absence of or lack of decking (or foot boards), low head height clearances that prohibited safe access and the presence of mechanical equipment with ducted areas. In addition the the possibility of causing damage to the structure, the possibility exists of causing personal injury to myself if I were to traverse these areas where the ceiling joists were not visible.

(optional added comment) Also, the attic is being used to store personal items by the seller that prohibit full access or visibility."
