A dramatic video shows a fire at The Wisp in Edinburgh tonight. A local sent the video to Edinburgh Live alerting us that they had dialled 999 and that fire engines had raced to the scene at around 18:45pm.

In the video shot by concerned local Iain Kay, a passenger in the car can be heard saying: "That's a massive fire, I reckon we should call...Omg that's massive."

The Wisp is a popular new build estate in Edinburgh situated in between Danderhall and Newcraighall.
