Drone footage shows extent of damage to Kitty's nightclub after fire

Drone footage shows the extent of the damage to Kitty's nightclub in Kirkcaldy after the latest fire.

Sunday afternoon's (3rd September) fire was the third this year, following incidents in March and another just last month.

Firefighters were called to the scene at 2.46pm on Sunday, sending six appliances and two height appliances at its peak.

They stayed until 10.13am on Monday with road closures in place for most of the day.

Aerial footage taken today by local man Bryan Wood (above) shows the aftermath of the latest blaze, which has gutted the Hunter Street building.

The roof of the club has been destroyed, the spire that sat above the corner of the building no longer exists and images show the interior as a burnt-out wreck.

Bryan also captured shocking footage of the fire itself as it ripped through the nightclub, which shut in 2019.

Police say they are treating the fire as wilful and confirm no one was injured. Enquiries are ongoing.

Last December, plans were approved to turn the nightclub, a B-listed building and former Post Office, into 10 flats. Neighbouring Kandy's was to be demolished and turned into nine flats.

But due to high costs no work has ever taken place and the property put up for sale.

The plans for the flats have since been withdrawn.
