Firefighters were called to a Plymouth tower block - which is in the process of having its cladding removed - after reports of a fire in one of the flats.
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service was sent to Tamar House in James Street, Devonport, at about 00:10 on Sunday.
The building was evacuated and firefighters said there was a big response due to "Grenfell sensitivities".
Tamar House is one of three blocks on the Mount Wise estate which was found to be made of similar material to Grenfell Tower.
Work has started to remove the cladding with the government funding it.
The fire - on the 11th floor - was confined to the kitchen and put out with no-one injured, the fire service added.
A serious crash on the A30 between Avers Roundabout and Tolvaddon near Camborne has closed the road on Monday morning.
Emergency services are at the scene.
It's believed the road is likely to be closed for some time. Drivers are asked to be patient and follow the diversions.
