two hour fire in crawlspace
My brother-in-law is rehabbing an older home in Philadelphia. He's adding a room with a crawlspace, for laundry I think. The rest of the home has a basement. He was told by city code officials that the crawl must have two hour fire protection, so he has to install two layers of 5/8 type X gypsum. Anyone else have such a requirement in other parts of the country?
