In our house there is a partition. However, my neighbor, who has a Gardenia, says that there is no partition between the garage attic and the attic above the house. I would have thought that the fire code would require it, but he says that his house doesn't have one. Other than fire issues this is good for him since he can get by with a single attic fan.
