“Crazy”, “unbelievable” and “like something out of a movie”.
Just some of the words used to describe the incredible scenes in Dunfermline yesterday after an explosion and fire in a flat.
A loud bang and huge flames shooting from a top floor property in Dewar Street were seen around 1.45pm.
A 35-year-old man was taken to hospital following the incident.
Number 32 suffered extensive damage.
Eight other homes were evacuated and remained cordoned off today, with at least two police units at the scene all day limiting access. See further down for video footage.
Despite initial reports of a gas leak causing the explosion, police said today that it is no longer believed to have been the cause, and an investigation with the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is ongoing.
