This is the dramatic moment flames rip through a house in Hamilton.
Video from the scene at a building site off Tyndrum Crescent shows towering white smoke billow out from the two-storey detached property.
Emergency services raced to the scene around 6.55pm on Sunday, April 25.
Police have confirmed they believe the fire was started deliberately and they are hunting two teenagers linked to the blaze.
The fires were extinguished by the fire crews, but not before extensive damage had been caused.
Police have since launched a probe and keen to identify two youths who were seen in the area around 6.40pm.
One is aged about 15/16 years, was white, of slim build, red coloured hair, about 5’5” tall and was wearing light coloured jogging bottoms and a dark coloured top.
The second boy was aged 16/17 years, again white, medium build, with dark short hair and was dressed all in black clothing.
Detective Constable Ryan Cairney of Lanarkshire CID said: "Anyone who has any information which might assist in this inquiry is asked to call us on the 101 number, quoting the reference 3225 of 25 April.
"Anyone wishing to pass on any information while remaining anonymous can do so through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.”
