Soffit between two walls in basement

Is there a particular way that a soffit needs to be "isolated" from wall framing, as far as code goes?

I have a lam beam and HVAC trunk line which span the width of the middle of my basement. there will be a wall at either end of the soffit. I feel like i read somewhere that the framing needs to not be connected, or something relating to firestop purposes.

TIA!
