Firefighters are still working to put out a blaze at a block of flats in Edinburgh.
Crews were called to Craigmount Brae just after 3pm on Wednesday to reports of a fire in an upper flat and its roof space, the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said.
A nearby school, East Craigs Primary School, had to be evacuated as a precaution.
Neighbours were told to keep their windows and doors shut to keep out smoke.
A fire service spokesperson said: “We mobilised 10 fire appliances plus specialist resources to the area.

The road has been taped off and residents have been told to avoid the area, it is understood.
