Re: two hour fire in crawlspace
Not that it matters, but we will disagree.

You can't have a fire rated structure 'suspended'; if a foundation wall is involved, that supporting wall must be rated at least as much as the walls or ceilings it's supporting.

Let's say there is a crawlspace and a gas line or electric service runs through it. A fire starts is the crawl and burns the wood frame 'foundation' wall.
