We’ve several of these wood high rises here in Norway now, and our building code is pretty strict. A friend of mine lives in one of these (Treet in Bergen, built using glu-lam), from what I remember it’s covered in fire-retardant coating, and has lots of sensors and sprinklers. And pretty strict rules (no BBQ of any kind on the roof terrace, etc). Edit: have a look here, google translated (sorry) https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&nv=1&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=auto&sp=nmt4&tl=en&u=http://www.brannmannen.no/forebyggende/treet-verdens-hoyeste-trehus-bergen-sentrum/&xid=17259,15700022,15700186,15700190,15700256,15700259&usg=ALkJrhhR7w64Q4E3UwRFQLkrJnA8-DiOPA https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&... > - When glulam structures begin to burn, a layer of coal is formed on the outside of the wood and the fire goes out. All wood surfaces are painted with fire paint and there are outlets for extinguishing water on each floor. There is sprinkling in apartments, in corridors, on balconies, over the ceiling and in the garage facility. The apartments are also approved in fire class EI90, says Kleppe.
