Yes, the average 1/2" thick board has a nominal 30 minute fire resistance.
A space heater by itself will not cause a fire. However, not following the space heater safety guidelines may start a fire. Actions that may increase the risk of fire include, but are not limited to: Leaving blankets or clothes on the heater, leaving anything flammable near the heater, and leaving the heater on in an unattended environment.

Neither. Fire is a process, not a physical object. When you burn wood, the reaction is actually happening between the wood and oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water vapor. Wood is a solid, but oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapor are all gases. If you have a gas powered stove, you are burning a gas called methane (or maybe propane). There everything is a gas. So fire is not a solid or a gas, but it is the name for a type of reaction that can involve both solids and gases (and liquids too in fact). If you mean the flame that you see as being fire you would be wrong. Flame is the result of fire.Fire is the combination of heat and a combustible material. A good example of this is the burning cigarette.
Fire is the release of heat and light during the very rapid combination of oxygen with another substance that we call the fuel of the fire. Although there are other oxidizers that can perform a similar function, in most cases in everyday life you cannot have a fire without a source of oxygen.
Yes, sheetrock is fire resistant.
5/8 sheetrock over a stud wall has a one hour rating.
It's drywall that has a fire resistant additive, and is also thicker.
Yes, it will eventually burn and crumble, but takes longer to get to that stage.
Sheetrock is a brand name for a brand of gypsum board, and by it's nature, it fire resistant (it is made of ground up gypsum rock, mixed with water, extruded in a ribbon). Check with a building supply dealer for fire code rated drywall- it will be the correct thickness.
Sheetrock, drywall or gypsum are insulators.
should you install sheetrock horizontal or vertical
M1 Fire Rating
No, the rating is based on the assembly
Yes. The plastic laminate itself is combustible and flammable and if it is adhering to the steel door it cannot help but affect the doors temperature rating.
Resistance means barrier to something. And I hope you know what is fire?ans2. Fire Resistance Rating is a formal measurement of fire rating. It is used to provide a relative rating for fire resistance for doors, walls, etc.The rating is measured in a standard test rig, and with a 'standardized fire'. These are laid out in various standards.Ratings are commonly given in 30 minute increments, as anything between these intervals is unimportant in the context.Some rating numbers however refer to the temperature profile against time, of the fire.
