You will have a difficult job setting fire to it.

So it isn't paper?

Maybe in Scotland.

Probably depends on the age and quality:

"Up to 10 percent of drywall's composition is comprised of cellulose, found in the paper facing on both sides of the drywall panel. Increasingly, though, drywall is being faced not with paper but with mold-resistant fiberglass mat."

But I can't believe anything with paper could be fire resistant, even if the middle part is.
