When do you have to use fire treated lumber? When I was doing
construction we had to use it everywhere.
I am getting the guys that are putting in my siding are using plywood
trim spacers. The strips will run the length of the house and are
about 3 inches wide. Should they be fire treated?

Atlanta.
I work in mainly commercial buildings and hosptials as an electrician.
Should plywood used in building a house also be fire treated?

Ahhh, that explains it. Standards are more stringent in commercial buildings,
and a *lot* more so in hospitals.

Not to my knowledge. Obviously wouldn't hurt, but I'm not aware that it's
required as a general rule.

Generally, in a single family house, it's not required, no.
Which doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, but I think you'd
be better off spending the money on non-flamable bedding and
couches, and more power outlets.
