FIRE crews battled blazes at a house in Prestonpans and beside a church in Musselburgh yesterday.

Firefighters were called to the house on Burnside, Prestonpans, at 5.27pm.

They spent several hours bringing the blaze under control with extensive damage caused to the two-storey property.

Meanwhile crews were also called to a fire next to St Andrews High Church, on Millhill, Musselburgh, after smoke was seen billowing onto the street.

No-one was reported injured in either of the fires.
