FIREFIGHTERS were called to West Pilton this morning after abandoned sofas caught fire in the street.

Four officers from Crewe Toll arrived shortly before midday to find the flames billowing from the discarded furniture in Ferry Road Drive.

A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said: “There was a lot of smoke in the area and they used hoses to extinguish the fire.”
