Default Metal plate between joist and drywall in garage ceiling
posted for all of us...



Could there be a metal plate above the sheetrock as a fire barrier? There are most likely fire regulations to isolate the garage from the house, especially when there are living quarters above the garage.

Negative the sheet rock is the fire barrier. OP probably means the truss
plate. Now designated on commercial buildings as signs by the door as to
floor or roof.
