More than 50 firefighters were called to a fire at a building site in Salford earlier this month which destroyed a building under construction.
According to masonry news website MasonryFirst, it was a four-storey timber-framed housing development that was under construction.
More than 30 homes had to be evacuated as the blaze took hold.
Last month building insurers called again for a review of the Building Regulations governing timber frame construction and fires.
