There has been increased interest in the fire safety of Melbourne's high rise residential towers following the fatal Grenfell Tower fire in London on Wednesday. 17 people have been confirmed dead following the London blaze, with initial investigations suggesting that flammable cladding on the outside of the building contributed to the rapid spread of the blaze. Similar cladding was found to have been to blame for a similar blaze in Melbourne's Lacrosse building in 2014.
