A 15-year-old boy has been charged with wilful fireraising in Dalgety Bay.
The move follows a huge blaze at disused industrial premises at Hillend Industrial Estate on the evening of September 6.
At the time, local residents were advised to stay indoors as a precaution due to the presence of a small amount of asbestos within the building.
It was later found the asbestos was not affected by the fire and there was no risk to the community.
The blaze was reported at 6.40pm and was not extinguished until after 10pm.
Traffic restrictions remained in place until 6.40 the following morning.
Following joint enquiries by the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland, the fire was treated as deliberate.
The 15-year-old will now be reported.
Sergeant Kenny Bow of Dalgety Bay said: “This fire caused fear and alarm to the local community and specialist resources were required as a result of the potential asbestos concerns.
“Fortunately, this did not present any risk to the public but the consequences could have been far more serious.
“Reckless conduct such as this will not be tolerated and anyone found to be involved in such foolish acts of destruction will be robustly dealt with.
“We would also urge parents and guardians to remind children in their care not to access disused or derelict buildings, as doing so can place themselves and others in danger.”
