It sometimes make you wonder about these codes. Typical garage or
workshop has workbenches, studing, rafters, and God knows what else that
can burn laying about. Most fires that start burn upwards, and away from
source of ignition. You'd really have to have one hell'uva fire going to
start the floors on fire, and if you do, well, I'm afraid the rest of the
building will be fully involved. I wouldn't recommend a wooden floor in a
garage with a space beneath like another room etc, but on grade, sure,
why not. But, if the code dictates no wood floors, well, you can't argue
that to the insurance guy eh?
