Theoretically, yes.
More like contain until the fire can be brought under control and extinguished.
But if there is cladding on the outside or other materials being used.
Let's hope it's not flammable or of a better flame-resistant caliber than the likes of Grenfell Tower in West London.
Because contractors have been known to take certain liberties.
Especially so where the likes of low-cost housing in concerned.
Apparently, the fire has been linked to starting on the scaffolding.
