Repairing fire rated drywall?

[dhinds]

Do I need to do anything special when repairing holes in fire rated drywall (between garage and house)? Can I use any ordinary spackling compund?

I use drywall compound for small holes. Anything bigger than 50-cent piece use backing material. The sticky mesh drywall tape helps to make it easy.
