Anyone have any advice for fireproofing node0 ..?

My node 0 is actually going to be in the old pantry cupboard, which is
under the stair landing. Not ideal if it sets on fire because it will block
the only route downstairs. The walls are all brick but the ceiling is just
lath and plaster.

I'm thinking of double boarding the ceiling with aquaboard (like plaster
board but made with cement) to give some fire protection.
I've hacked the plaster off the walls (back to bear brick) and plan of
sticking 18mm external chipboard on them (with dry wall adhesive + frame
screws in each corner). This should make it easier to munch equipment on
(no rawplugs required). I did think about lining the walls with aquauboard
first but I would loose some internal space and the walls are brick
anyway..

Obviously a smoke alarm will be fitted.
