Dude, CLT (cross laminated timber) is so dense it hardly chars. It's not the structure, it's what you hurbish it with that will cause the problems and this is a fact regardless of the material used for the structure (e.g. Grenfell towers disaster)

Aye that cladding is so important. Really terrible that the older building would have been less flammable before shoddy renovations.
