Actually Sik, a barrier of any kind offers some kind of fire protection. Your doorway has a door correct? That door offers some kind of fire protection, the makeup of the door will determine what kind of protection.

I recently had a home inspection for a property I purchased in Gilford. One of the doors in the basement never had a door knob installed so there was a 2 1/2" hole through the door. Guess what, that was considered a fire issue. Your not only trying to stop flames but also deadly gasses from entering another part of the home.
