Leven High Street has been closed off as dozens of firefighters battle to extinguish the blaze
A major fire has broken out at a Poundstretcher store in Fife overnight, sparking an emergency response. The blaze took hold at around 2am on Tuesday, November 8, when crews were alerted to a shop having gone up in smoke on Leven High Street.
The emergency crews remain in attendance several hours later, while the fire rages on. Footage taken at the scene shows red-hot flames spitting from the building, while ashy, grey smoke billows from the roof. The video also shows firefighters launching streams of water from a hose onto the burning wreck. It is understood that no one has been hurt in the incident, although the cause is not yet known.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "We were called around 2.30am on Tuesday, November 9, to a report of a fire in Leven High Street near Poundstretcher. The road and part of the Esplanade will be closed until further notice. The public are asked to avoid the town centre area if possible."
