Seriously, we can't expect to match the performance of a low income country we bombed back to the stone age just a few decades ago? Vietnam isn't a paragon of wealth and competent administration today, there is no good reason our

Usually fire code mandates a 2 hour fire rating for each unit, so you end up with two parallel air gapped 2×4 walls that have sufficient sheetrock on the one side facing the unit the wall was built for to get that 2 hour fire rating.
