Stark images show burnt out cars after blaze in Scottish town

Images from the aftermath of a fire in Kirkcaldy have shown the extent of the damage.

Police are now probing after an Audi went on fire, spreading to a Seat Leon parked net to it. Both cars were destroyed in the blaze, reports the Daily Record.

Emergency services raced to the scene on Sutherland Place just before 4am on Friday. Pictures taken show a destroyed pram in the boot of one of the cars, with debris 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 owner's relatives 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."
