Firefighters spent two hours battling a blaze at an electrical substation in Fife after receiving “multiple calls” from worried members of the public.
Two fire appliances were in attendance at the substation adjacent to Warout Playing Fields in Glenrothes.
The first call was made at 9.59am on Sunday.
Officers took two hours to tame the fire.
Local homes lost power for more than an hour during the fire.
A spokesperson for Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “Two fire appliances are in attendance at a fire at Warout Playing Fields, Glenrothes.
“An electrical substation is currently on fire.
“We received the first call at 9.59am and have received multiple calls.”
They added later that the fire had been extinguished and the area made safe.
Staff left at 11.59am.
Power off for more than an hour, says councillor
Glenrothes Central and Thornton councillor Derek Noble was on the scene talking to SP Energy Networks.
He said: “An extra high voltage cable has faulted, and the plastic sheath has caught fire, and this tripped the switch to kick in and cut the system.
“SP Energy Networks has said all customers are back online as of 10.57am, and the grid was down for one hour and seven minutes.
“They are still on-site monitoring the situation in case of further developments.”
The SP Energy Networks map confirmed there was a fault in the KY7 area.
It added: “There was a fault in your area which has now been resolved.”
