No one is said to have been injured in the fire.
A spokesperson for the SFRS commented: "Our crews were confronted with an intense fire within six two-storey residential buildings that were still under construction.
"The fire was burning over an area measuring around 50m by 10m with difficult underfoot conditions meaning crews had to rely on their professionalism and skill throughout the operation.
"Three properties were destroyed by the fire and only the determined efforts of the crews prevented all six buildings being lost."
An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fire has been launched.
