HOMES have been evacuated as firefighters tackle a blaze at a house in St Andrews which broke out in the early hours of the morning.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service sent three fire engines to the scene in Braid Crescent when the alarm was raised at 2.09am on Thursday.
Two appliances were still at the scene in the Fife town at 6.15am.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Around 2.35am on Thursday October 10 we were made aware of a fire on Braid Crescent in St Andrews.

“Officers remain at the scene however there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
