Scots staff escaped a shop and hairdressers after a horror fire ripped through Troon train station earlier today.
Troon Kiosk employees, Scran and Claire's Hair Station staff all had to evacuated after the blaze started shortly before 1pm this afternoon.
Dramatic footage shows the devastating scene as emergency crews raced to the busy travel hub on one of the hottest days of the year so far.
Smoke could be seen billowing from the station after the blaze started shortly before 1pm on Saturday.
Now the Troon Kiosk team, who also own Scran at the station, have been left 'gutted' by the damage and chaos the fire caused.
Speaking out on social media they said: "Hello everyone.
"Just to let you all know everyone got out safe and we are all okay….
"I am absolutely gutted as you can imagine especially for my team and my son Kyle….
"I am taking a break from social media to get my head around what has just happened so please don’t be offended if I do not respond.
"I hope you all understand I just need time out to process what has just happened.
"To all the team thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing by my side today I can’t tell you how much I appreciated it."
Fire crews tackled the inferno as an aerial water apparatus could be seen dousing water on the flames in the short video as the building continues to burn.
Concerned residents also gathered to watch on nearby roads as the scene unfolds.
The full extent of the damage is not yet clear but videos appear to show part of the station's roof has caved in.
ScotRail was forced to cut the power to overhead lines to allow firefighters to tackle the blaze, which it said "took out a large area and affected other routes' power supply".
The rail network is urging travellers to use alternative services, and has laid on buses for those affected by the fire.
ScotRail tweeted: “Emergency services are dealing with an incident in the Troon area. “Consequently, trains through the station will be cancelled, delayed or revised.
"We’ll update you once we have more information.”
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service confirmed they are still in attendance.
Network Rail Scotland added: "We're currently assisting the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, who are dealing with an incident in Troon.
"While this is ongoing, trains are currently unable to pass through the area."
Police Scotland have confirmed they are assisting colleagues from the British Transport Police with traffic management in the surrounding area.
