Fire crews battle blaze at old school in Kirkcaldy

Firefighters worked through the night on Saturday to get a fire at a former Fife school under control.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) was called to the old Viewforth High School in Kirkcaldy on Saturday evening.

Crews were still at the scene “to dampen down hot spots” yesterday morning. No casualties have been reported.

The cause of the blaze is not yet known, with a joint police and fire service investigation expected.

A total of six fire engines were in attendance at the height of the blaze, with two remaining by Sunday alongside a specialist vehicle that allows crews to spray water from a height, provide aerial observation and lighting.

Police Scotland confirmed they were at the scene to assist the fire service and manage the road closures in the vicinity.
