Fire at Neo200 tower triggers emergency orders and cladding concerns
A fire on a balcony of the 41-storey tower spread up the exterior, and the council issued emergency orders that kept residents out for an extended period. Firefighters and the ABC reported that a discarded cigarette started the blaze and that aluminium composite cladding helped it spread; the building's sprinklers stopped it spreading inside.
