Modular Homes fire issues

Good slide show.. the state inspectors need to pay attention.. since that's where the inspection responsibility lies.
 
the slide show was slow so I didn't see it all but I did pick up on one point (and I have a question). He is referring to modular houses but he speaks of what can be done with modular house as if they are built to a separate code. He spoke of drywall being attached with adhesive only. I thought the IRC required mechanical fasteners. In fact, I contacted one of the adhesive manufacturers a few months ago to question their advertising statement regarding attaching drywall with their product and asked for a report reference that would qualify as code approval. They didn't have one and said I'd have to check with local code authorities.
