Firefighters are still at the scene of a major fire that led to the evacuation of 42 flats.
The blaze broke out at Conqueror House in Crabble Hill, Dover, at about 01:10 BST on Sunday, according to Kent Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS).
The service said on Monday morning that the fire was now extinguished but two fire engines remained at the scene "to check for any remaining hotspots and to maintain a watching brief".
An investigation will take place, but the cause of the fire has "not yet been determined", it continued.
The fire service said it sent 12 fire engines and two height vehicles at the peak of the blaze.
Two people were checked over by paramedics for smoke inhalation.
Dover District Council set up an emergency centre at its offices in the early hours of Sunday where the Salvation Army and Red Cross provided food and water.
The property's landlord, Town and Country Housing, said it was arranging week-long hotel stays for all those who needed immediate help.
It said it will be meeting with all residents from Tuesday to explore short and medium term housing options.
