Treated wood is generally not considered non-combustible, as it is still primarily composed of organic material that can burn. However, certain treatments, such as fire-retardant chemicals, can significantly reduce the flammability of wood and improve its fire resistance. While these treatments can help slow down combustion and give occupants more time to escape, they do not make the wood entirely non-combustible. Thus, while treated wood can be more fire-resistant, it is not fireproof.
