Animals have been evacuated from a Dunfermline store following a fire which caused damage to the building’s air conditioning.
The blaze took place last night behind Pets at Home in Halbeath Retail Park.
The cause has not been confirmed, but it is believed by staff to have been started intentionally,
It caused damage to the store’s air conditioning system, which meant that all of the store’s animals had to be relocated to a different store as a precaution.
