If a fire started in your garage it would be in your attic before you were able to hit the 9 in 911.

Florida has the same law found in other states. Solar Guys installed an exhaust fan from the garage into the attic for us. They install a "fail-safe", per code. This is a damper door system that closes if there is a fire. This shuts off the fan opening access to the attic, thus separating the attic from any fire that might take place in the garage.
