Because its fun to do???"[/i] Do you have enough question marks at the end of your last sentence??? I think they use fire retardant on steel, not out of fear that without it a building might collapse from an intense fire, but because it greatly reduces the risk of structural steel damage. The cost of repairing a floor with intact steel compared to one where the steel has been distorted by lack of fire protection would be astronomical. MM
