Home wiring question - firestop?

[WhiteKnight]

I'd like to knock a hole into my garage from my basement to run some ethernet cable. They are separated by a cinderblock wall. Do I need to worry about any sort of fire prevention? There are already a number of 110V electrical lines though one larger hole and a coax cable in a smaller hole going through the wall. The entry points are just sealed with caulk on the garage side.

I would be more worried about moisture.

There's some special material for sealing those holes.

Red caulk. Really.

if the typical house were to catch fire, a couple of holes in a wall won't make a difference. It is not the same as a much more complex commercial structure.
