Last updated 31 Jul 2011 - 1:20 pm
Fire fighters have spent around six hours tackling a blaze at a linen factory in Kirkaldy
Crews were called to Peter Greig & Co, in St Clair Street, Kirkcaldy, Fife, at around 11pm on Friday night, where they found a fire in the building's roof space.
A spokeswoman for Fife Fire and Rescue Service said a decontamination team was brought in after fears over the possibility of asbestos.
The brigade used an aerial rescue pump as well as breathing apparatus and a thermal image camera to extinguish the blaze.
They were still on scene until 5am on Saturday, "dampening down" and ventilating the one-storey property.
The extent of the building's damage is not yet known.
It is unknown whether a Fire Risk Assessment had been carried out on this property.
