If no fire rating is available then what can be done to treat the wood to make it more resistant to fire?

It is a little difficult to say based on your question. Beech is in the same family as maple, birch and alder for density etc. Fire ratings depend on the thickness of the wood. I have a 45 minute fire rated knotty pine door. It is 1 3/4" thick. I live in a log home that has 8" log walls that are rated at 2+hours.

Beech tree firewood burns hot with very little sparking which can help reduce the risk of a possible flue fire. The wood also splits well when seasoned but may require a maul or wedge because, even seasoned, the wood is hard. Seasoned beech firewood produces very little smoke.

Probably not rated as it is wood and will readily burn. Check with your local paint/hardware store on the availability and use of fire retardants for wood.

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/IOUlj
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.
