A loft fire at a Dundee home saw emergency crews scrambled to the scene on Sunday evening.

Four fire appliances were sent to deal with the blaze, which had broken out in the roofspace of a terraced house in Balunie Street, Douglas.

The fire had been reported to Tayside Fire and Rescue Service shortly before 9.30pm.

All residents of the house are said to have escaped the property without injury.Suspicious fire in FintryPolice in Dundee are treating as suspicious a fire in a Fintry housing block in which a 16-week-old baby had to be rescued.

Inspector Alistair Black said inquiries are ongoing after the blaze at Finlaggan Crescent late on Friday.

Three generations of the Boyack family were removed from their second-floor flat after smoke engulfed the close. Three fire engines and a command control centre went to the scene at 11.20pm.

The fire is understood to have started in a pram left outside a ground-floor flat.

Members of George Boyack’s family were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation, including his 16-week-old granddaughter Lily.

Station manager Fraser Scott said the fire had endangered the lives of everyone in the block of six flats.

He said: ”We are asking that people don’t leave rubbish or other material within common stairwells because there is the potential for that to be ignited.”
