A spokeswoman for Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said they were alerted to the house fire at around 8.30pm.

She said: “We sent two appliances from the Dunfermline and Lochgelly stations.

“There were found to be two casualties – a man and a woman.

“Fire crews requested an ambulance and paramedics attended to the pair at the scene who appeared to be suffering from smoke inhalation.”

She said that firefighters left the scene around 10pm.

It is understood that the couple were able to get themselves out of the building before fire crews arrived.

Firefighters used a main hose reel jet and breathing apparatus to fight the blaze.

A video posted to social media shortly after 9pm on Tuesday appears to show smoke coming from the front of the entrance of the property.
