Emergency services rushed to a Stevenston street yesterday after a hearse caught fire.
The alarm was raised at 3.51pm on Friday (February 19) after smoke could be seen coming from the vehicle on Glencairn Street.
A fire engine from Kilwinning Community Fire Station arrived on the scene just minutes later.
Police were also called and closed the road for a short time to allow the fire to be put out.
It's not believed anyone was injured in the incident and the Herald understands that the vehicle had just returned from a funeral.
The road was fully reopened around 5pm.
