Today I was at a new townhouse with an exhaust fan in the ceiling of the garage. The fan was a Broan powerful fan with a six inch rigid duct to the exterior. The fan had a fire rated shutter. It looked like the shutter was attached to a spring with a lead "lock" to hold it in place. I assume heat would melt the lead and the shutter would close. I assume the fire rated shutter was required since the ceiling was fire rated. There were living areas above the garage.
Any ideas about including an exhaust fan in a garage?
