The common wall between the garage and house had drywall installed …
the garage ceiling did not … ( the house was one story … No living area above the garage ).

Should the Garage ceiling have fire rated drywall also ?
If the drywall on the “fire wall” doesn’t go to the roof then yes. IMO…

Yep with @mdurante 's statement. You can get into a long list including penetrations etc., but that ceiling void is a No Go…

i’m curious of that diagonal 2x4. what that there for? looks like someone tore out the drywall and put that there as some kind of bracing.
