THREE teenage boys have been charged after a fire at a former nightclub in Kirkcaldy.
Six appliances and two height trucks were on the scene during the worst of the blaze on Sunday, with firefighters racing back this morning (Wednesday) after another fire erupted for the fourth time this year.
Police have now confirmed that three 15-year-old boys have been arrested and charged in connection with wilful fire-raising.
Fires also previously broke out in August and March of this year.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
