Overview
- A large fire broke out at a unit on Caputhall Road in Deans Industrial Estate on Sunday, June 14, and crews were sent after the first call at about 3:20pm.
- Scottish Fire and Rescue initially mobilised two appliances and upgraded to four pumps plus a height appliance, with firefighters working into the night and leaving the scene at 12:48am on Monday.
- Video and photos from the scene showed flames breaching the roof and thick black smoke that was reported visible from the M8 and nearby towns including Culross and Burntisland.
- There were no reported injuries, Police Scotland have taped off the area, and officers say they are treating the blaze as wilful and have opened an investigation.
- Local reports identify the building as the former Schlumberger training centre now used as a warehouse but that detail has not been confirmed by emergency services; a height appliance is used for fires affecting high roofs or elevated structures.
