Kirkcaldy farm fire: Emergency services tackle flames 'near Fife restaurant''

A large fire broke out in Fife last night, which is believed to have started at a Kirkcaldy farm near the 'Home Farm View pub and grill.'

Shocked locals on social media said they witnessed 'smoke at about 4pm' on Friday 9 October, with the orange flames erupting by 'about 7pm.'

Emergency services raced to the scene of the blaze, which some Fife locals thought was a 'large fire pit' or 'bonfire.'
