Officers are treating a fire at the playpark near to Leuchatsbeath Drive in Cowdenbeath as deliberate.

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service were called to the scene at around 3.30am on Monday, 26 January, 2026. Following investigation, the fire is being treated as wilful and police enquiries are ongoing into the incident.

Community Inspector Alasdair Young said: “We have officers in the area conducting enquiries and will not tolerate this form of anti-social behaviour at a space that is important to the local community.

“We believe this fire was deliberately set in the early hours of Monday morning. I’d appeal for any residents who saw any suspicious behaviour or may have captured the incident on private CCTV or doorbell footage, to come forward to police.

“Anyone who may have any information to trace those responsible should get in touch as soon as possible.”

Those with information should contact Police Scotland via 101 and quote incident number 2096 of 26 January. An anonymous report can be made to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
