Firefighters were called to tackle a house blaze near Monikie this morning.
Two appliances were scrambled from Dundee to the address in Newbigging just after 6.30am.
The fire is believed to have started from the boiler going up in flames and there were concerns it had spread into the wall cavities and caused damage.
The fire had been extinguished as of 7.30am but firefighters were still on scene to check the cavities.
Crews extinguished the blaze in the ground floor of the property using a hose-reel jet and a CO2 extinguisher.
No one was hurt during the incident.
A spokeswoman for Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: “We had a report of a fire this morning at 6.36am in a dwelling in the Monikie area at Downie Mill Farm.
“One appliance from the Kingsway and one appliance from Balmossie attended.”
