Three crews have tackled a house fire near Stark’s Park in Kirkcaldy on Wednesday.
Two appliances and a specialist height appliance were called to the scene at Pratt Street, close to Raith Rovers’ ground around 10.45am.
It is understood no one has been injured.
One resident living yards from the house said he was alerted to the incident when hearing the sirens.
He said: “The first I knew there was a fire was hearing the emergency sirens getting louder.
“Then moments later two fire engines pulled up blocking the street.
“They were not hanging around as firefighters started unrolling hoses and I saw several rush into the house.
“There was a lot of activity and drivers were being directed away.”
