Police are probing a car fire after an Audi went ablaze in Kirkcaldy in the early hours of Friday morning. Shocking images from the scene have revealed the extent of the damage as two burnt out motors can be seen sitting on the street following the early morning incident.
The Audi went on fire before the inferno spread to a red Seat Leon parked next to the car. Both motors were destroyed in the blaze.
Emergency services were called to Sutherland Place shortly before 4am on Friday. Photographs of the aftermath show a newborn baby's pram destroyed in the boot of the Seat Leon as debris can be seen scattered across the back seats.
The car had to be towed away the following morning, leaving a family-of-five with no mode of transport following the 'heartbreaking experience'.
A fundraising page has now been launched by the owners relative after their newborn baby's pram was destroyed in the blaze.
Posting on the fundraiser, Dylan Pedan said: "I am trying to help fundraise for my cousin and her family after the traumatic events of which their family car was tragically set on fire after a vehicle parked next to them was targeted early hours or last night.
"Unfortunately they have lost everything including their newborn baby's new pram and her eldest son's school bag and all his work. After this heartbreaking experience they are now completely stuck for transportation for them or their three kids.
"They are lovely people who work hard for everything they have and did not deserve this to happen to them, unfortunately due to the car having an outstanding balance they will be unable to receive anything to replace the contents or the car."
