While Milan is a long way from Oz, a major fire in what's either a 16 or 20 storey recently built apartment block is reported (via wires) by 'SMH' thus:

"...A firefighter told the Corriere della Sera newspaper the blaze was still limited when they arrived and firefighters were able to get residents out.

Within an hour, the flames had spread from the 15th floor, where the fire appeared to have started, quickly devouring the entire facade of the building.

Unidentified residents told Corriere that the panels on the facade were supposed to have been fire-resistant..."

This will again focus government eyes on the combustible cladding issue that JLG says will see further work in Victoria (adding more buildings, two of which are to shortly commence being rectified) and (where it has yet to win a contract) NSW.
