Most will say that rsj"s have to be boarded with fireboards for building regs but is this law or does it come down to spec?

a wooden beam or a steel joist both can become problamatic during a fire so why fire check one an not the ohter???
same as why do they insist on smoke alarms and ( fd 30 fire doors with intumitent strips) when the smoke alarms fitted should pick up the smoke before the strip is need to kick in???????
building trade as gone silly over the last few years.
