A van has burst into flames on a Kilmarnock estate late last night.
The blaze broke out before 11.30pm on Ardgour Road with emergency services racing to the scene.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and police were both in attendance at the fire.
One resident said on Facebook: "Absolute idiotic, loads of kids live in that certain area! Heard a huge bang and got a fright of my life!
"Surprised it didn’t wake up my two-year-old whose also in the back bedroom."
The van fire is the third of its kind in the town in two weeks
