Fire-code sheetrock required?

I'm adding a basement bathroom with a new wall that will be within 42" of the furnace (oil fired). The chimney pipe is more than 60" away. Am I required to use fire-code sheetrock (5/8") to be in compliance with the building/fire code? I have the neccessary permits so the work will be inspected. I'm in Fairfield county,CT.
