What would be the fuel source? Nice warm space = squirrel nesting material?

What would actually be on fire? From the description I’m guessing the only combustible would be the insulation on the units’ wiring.

Do I need sprinkler protection in the space above the ceiling? My instinct tells me yes, at least local protection by the UH’s but I can’t find it in NFPA 13.
