I have reviewed the UL fire resistance directory for many years and have never seen sheet metal proposed as part of a fire barrier.  That is not to say that it could be on top of drywall such as protection of a hood exhaust system.

I believe it is. I think it would have more burn time than 1/2" drywall

Hi Dale

Missed you last weekend. Hope all is well.

Relating to your post. The plain language R309.2 does not mention fire
protection, only separation, to the ceiling of a garage unless there is
a
habitable area above.  Although we do know that 1/2 GWB is 20 minute.
That is
why the interpretation from BOAF states No.

See below

>From BOAF Informal Interpretation

Question:

Is it the intent of R309.1 and R309.2 to be applied to attic accesses
in
garages with relation to a fire rating?
Answer:
No. The requirement is  for separation as stipulated, not a fire rated
assembly. The attic access  closure
would need to be equivalent to 1/2 inch gyp board, or in the case  where

there is a habitable area above the
ceiling, 5/8 inch Type X gyp board  (where the ceiling is used to
provide
the separation).
Commentary:
Section  309.1 addresses openings between the garage and the residence.
Section 309.2  establish
es the
separation requirement between the garage and the attic. 1/2  inch
gypsum
is allowed.

I'm  unclear as to the installation of the ladder. Is it a fixed ladder

assembly?
R309.2 requires  ceiling protection of 1/2 " gdw on the ceiling and if
its a
floor/ceiling  assembly,( with habitable space above) it must be 5/8
type "X'.
If the ladder  and scuttle create a penetration through the ceiling
envelope,
it must be  protected in some manner.
Most pull-down attic ladders are not fire-rated  but a layer of
sheet-metal
or drywall applied to the bottom side is usually  accepted.
