Absolutely! Its a matter of dimensions, for wood we simply oversize a few centimeters to burn through to make sure it holds long enough to get out of the building. I assume this indeed takes more space than a fire insulated steel beam. The achievement here is the Norsk got over the medieval fear of burning houses and can now use their loved local wood to tackle urban densification challenges!

Wood can be very very low carbon compared to concrete as a building material because the wood itself is a carbon sink.
