The YMCA building in Kirkcaldy had to be evacuated on Monday evening after a fire broke out on the upper floor of the building.

Fire crews rushed to the scene shortly before 8.30pm, after reports of a blaze in the toilet area of the YMCA facility in Hendry Crescent in the Valley area of Kirkcaldy.

It’s understood the fire was started deliberately in a toilet cubicle.

The building, which was in use at the time, had to be evacuated as emergency services sealed off the surrounding area.
