Fire Caulking

[BRITT W]

So I don’t think this is my problem, but the GC had the building inspector come out to do an overhead inspection. I am working in Florida btw. The inspector said that the fire caulking had to be done by a certified person. Is this a NEC or FBC compliance issue or just an inspector wanting a licensed person to do the caulking?

It's not in the NEC. It may be in the fire or building code by now.

Had a fire marshal require a completion of a course on proper fire caulking. Did it online. 3M if I recall.
