roof sheathing(s)
See http://www.rockwool.dk/råd og vejledning/brandguiden/generel...
for a drawing of a "brandkamerstatning". See the reference link below for this:
"Today, a major use of FRT plywood is as roof sheathing in multifamily dwellings at party-separation walls. In dwellings such as townhouses and condomini- ums, some building codes allow the use of 4 ft (12.2 m) of FRT plywood as roof sheathing at the party-separation wall in lieu of a fire-rated parapet extending above the roof line."
A firewall is a vertical partition. But a "brandkamerstatning" is a substitute for a parapet ("brandkam") that is installed horizontally, to prevent fire from spreading along the underside of a roof.

There's a typo in the original example -- it should be "1.2 m", not "12.2 m" -- that I should have noticed when copying and pasting from its source.
