Then you violated the building code. Regarding fire and arguably more importantly air tightness to prevent condensation and resulting water damage.

In attics its mandatory to do a blow out test where you create overpressure and search for air movement and leaks with a smoke machine.

Rule of thumb is outer walls wind tight, inside perimeter walls air tight. (Diffusion open)

    That wouldn't be good for a bunch of reasons. Mainly because the owner is obviously stupid.

    That being said, I'd argue that Cars aren't safe because if you light a fire under it and wait for a few minutes it goes up in flames.

    Same reasoning.
