2006 IBC 702.1 FIRE WALL. A fire-resistance-rated wall having protected openings, which restricts the spread of fire and extends continuously from the foundation to or through the roof, with sufficient structural stability under fire conditions to allow collapse of construction on either side without collapse of the wall.

Okay, stupid question but: Are all firewalls sheathed to the roof deck? I have a set of plans that's calling out 1 hr firewalls but sections don't show them going all the way up to the roof deck. Thought I would ask here before calling the architect to see if there is a general rule of thumb.
