A road in Fife was closed for more than five hours after a tractor burst into flames on Friday.

Firefighters from Tayport and Dundee were called to the incident on the B945 between Tayport and St Michaels just after 8.30am.

No one was injured but diversions were put in place while the blaze was brought under control.

A spokesperson for Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We received an alert at 8.30am on Friday of a vehicle fire on the B945 south of Tayport.

Two fire appliances called to scene

“Two fire appliances, one from Tayport and one from Blackness Road, Dundee were despatched and attended the scene.

“On arrival it was found to be a tractor well alight.

Both crews used hose reel jets to tackle the fire.”

A police spokesperson confirmed that the B945 was reopened to motorists shortly before 2pm.
