Saline fire closes village centre

The centre of a Fife village was shut off as fire engulfed a caravan.

Around 15 firefighters tackled the blaze in Saline at its height on Sunday afternoon.

Police advised motorists to avoid the area, where a huge plume of smoke could be seen rising over houses in Main Street.

Both Main Street and Oakley Road were closed for around two hours.

A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fife and Rescue Service said: “We were called to a fire at 12.58pm.

“We had three appliances in attendance.”

The last remaining crew of firefighters left the scene at around 3pm.
