The fire appears to have broken out several floors up in one of the high rise buildings just off of Craigour Place that sit just behind Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary at Little France.
SFRS say that they are still on site tackling the fire and it is not known if the building has been completely evacuated.
In a video shared with Edinburgh Live black and grey smoke can be seen billowing out of an open kitchen window as firefighters stand at the foot of the block.
A spokesperson for the SFRS said: "We were called to respond to an incident of a kitchen fire on Craigour Place at around 12.26pm.
"Four pumps and one high reach appliance are in attendance and it is an active incident."
