This is the moment a van went up in flames just yards from homes in a Fife village.

Firefighters were called to Kingsdale Gardens in Kennoway shortly before 10pm on Wednesday.

One appliance from Kirkcaldy tackled the Ford Transit van blaze.

Images posted by concerned residents on social media showed plumes of black smoke rising above the houses as the burning van spat flames into nearby gardens.

It is not yet known what caused the fire, or if anyone has been injured.
