Australia's woes in the Olympic Games athletes' village continue, with a fire forcing the evacuation of approximately 100 team members from their accommodation on Friday.
The fire started at about 4.40pm local time amongst rubbish in the underground carpark of the Australian residence.
The group spent some 30 minutes out of the building, with no athletes hurt in the incident.
"We've had a fire in the building. All are present and accounted for. No damage, just a small fire. Some smoke filled up the stairwell,"
Australian Olympic Committee spokesperson Mike Tancred told AAP.
Rio 2016 organisers and the AOC are already conducting an investigation into the cause of the fire which came hard on the heels of the Australians complaining about multiple facets of the accommodation at the athletes' village.
On Sunday, the AOC deemed Australia's apartment tower uninhabitable and sent athletes arriving in Rio to alternative accommodation while issues with exposed wiring, leaking pipes and blocked toilets were resolved.
Australia's chef de mission Kitty Chiller said they made the decision to move to nearby hotels "because the village is simply not safe or ready."
Other countries such as Italy, Argentina and New Zealand had also expressed concerns.
Extensive emergency repairs were carried out by hundreds of workers and allowed the first Australian athletes to move in to their official digs on Wednesday.
Rio mayor Eduardo Paes apologised and acknowledged Australia's allocated building was the worst in the village.
"Australia was right," he said.
"It was not in good shape. That was a mistake of the organisation."
He added: "They've got their building now, and I hope things go well from now on."
The AOC issued a statement about Friday's incident, confirming that an emergency response plan was activated and "approximately 100 athletes and officials were evacuated in an orderly and controlled fashion."
"The stairwells filled with smoke but the fire was confined to the carpark and no one was injured," the statement read.
"The fire was extinguished by the Fire Brigade and team members were allowed back into the building after about 30 minutes."
