A 15-year-old boy has been charged in connection with a fire at a disused building containing asbestos.

Local residents were advised to stay indoors to avoid potential noxious gases while firefighte­rs tackled the blaze at Hillend Industrial Estate in Dalgety Bay, Fife, on 6 September.

Police took the precaution due to the presence of a small amount of asbestos within the building, however it was not affected by the fire and there was no risk to the community.
