Firestopping for 2hr CMU exterior wall

Firestopping for 2hr CMU exterior wall

I am working on a project where we have a 2hr CMU wall on the exterior wall as its next to an occupied building. We have control joints on this wall and we also have to leave some space at head of wall due to movement requirements. Wondering what product can we use for firestopping and if we need an EJ for a CMU wall at edge of slab or if we can use anyone of the existing EJs that are available on your website. The exterior face of the CMU wall will also get waterproofed.
