Does fire protection have to extend up from the drywall, completely covering the gaps between the roofing deck and interior wall. Which NFPA code covers this?

Thanks in advance.
 
If you have a concealed combustible space, you are required to protect it, barring a few exceptions. This is found in NFPA 13.
