Fire and Rescue teams from Sanquhar and New Cumnock battled for several hours to save three houses in West Loch in Sanquhar on Wednesday, August 12 after adverse weather conditions caused severe flooding to the area.
Firefighters worked through the night, pumping water from the houses to abate the heavy flooding caused by the stormy weather which affected homes across Ayrshire and beyond on Wednesday night.
