Good point. I have used fiberglass insulation for both minimizing heat
loss and for some firestopping, however you can purchase from many
electrical contractors .. firestopping putty
(it was a red colored putty when I used it 12 years ago)

Indeed. Steel wool burns rather nicely, once started.

Kewl, I had never heard of firestopping putty. I assume/hope it can
be easily dug out when/if you need to fish new cables. I think I'd
like it, too, for it's draft blockage feature
