Fife Council says this video shows the cladding used on all local tower blocks is fire safe.
Multi-storey blocks in Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline and Methil have all recently been clad using stone wool or phenolic board insulation materials, shown in the left and middle of this demonstration.
They do not burn even if a fire is set below them.
Fife Council is offering to show the video to any multi residents concerned about safety in the wake of the horrific blaze at Grenfell Tower in London.
The fire there quickly spread throughout the entire building and killed 79 people, because the cladding material used on the outside was highly flammable.
Fife’s housing officials have launched a review of fire safety in all blocks in the region in a bid to reassure residents they are safe.
Starting on Thursday, the 12-week exercise will begin with high-rise flats at Ravenscraig in Kirkcaldy, Broomhead in Dunfermline and Memorial and Swan Courts in Methil.
Low-rise flats and other council houses will be included later in the review.
Hundreds of tenants and residents will be able to speak to officers to air any concerns they have.
Housing manager Keith Brown said the insulation system used in Fife was entirely different from that used at Grenfell.
“The building regulations here are more stringent than they are south of the border,” he said.
“The pictures we saw on the news of the fire spreading up the outside of the building won’t happen in any of the council’s blocks.”
The review will also look at other aspects of fire safety, including management arrangements and the need for sprinklers, and residents will receive weekly updates.
Head of housing John Mills said: “Housing management officers are starting tomorrow to knock on doors of all multi-storey flats and they will be given a letter from Keith.
“Everyone will get a face-to-face.
“Fire Scotland are doing a similar exercise with their own leaflet.”
Mr Mills added that money would be found to address any issues uncovered during the review.
“I’ve said to Keith, whatever resources you need, just do it.”
Angela Johnston, chair of Ravenscraig tenants and residents association, said she was reassured by the council’s approach.
“I have spoken to a lot of residents and although there are concerns, the council has been very open,” she said.
“We are definitely reassured by the fact we have different cladding to the type used at Grenfell.”
Councillor Judy Hamilton, housing spokesperson, said it was important residents were listened to.
“The important thing is we are here to listen to people and hear what their concerns are,” she said.
“People are hearing a lot of information but they need to be given the chance to be heard.”
