A suspected gas leak was probed at a school in Glenrothes after a car smashed into the building this morning.
Emergency crews raced to Glenwood High School at around 9am this morning after reports that a car had crashed into the building. No information is available at this stage on the condition of the driver.
A representative from the school reported smelling gas to the fire service and they called in the Scottish Gas Network (SGN). They sent out engineers to probe the leak and left after making ‘the situation safe.’
An image from the scene shows the car that crashed into the school, with emergency crews in the background.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “We attended the area at around 9am in relation to smoke coming from a car following a road traffic incident. The school were complaining that they could smell gas so we handed it over to the gas board.”
A spokesperson for the SGN said: “We were called to the high school in our capacity as the National Gas Emergency Service.
“Our engineers arrived quickly and made the situation safe. We left site just after 12pm today.”
Police Scotland has been approached for comment.
