Homes destroyed at Parkside, Elizabeth East, shed damaged at North Adelaide, car torched at Novar Gardens in SA fires

Fire crews have been run off their feet by a spate of blazes across Adelaide, with fears some of them were deliberately lit.

A spate of blazes across Adelaide kept fire crews busy and destroyed two homes overnight, with fears some may have been deliberately lit.

In the first fire, an Elizabeth East home sustained about $500,000 in damage after it went up in flames in the early hours of Sunday.

Fire crews were called to Halsey Rd just after 1am, where they found flames had engulfed the home and caused a partial internal collapse of the roof.

No one was home at the time of the fire and there were no reports of injuries.

Police are investigating the incident.

Just a couple of hours later, fire crews were called to Culvert St at Parkside where another house was engulfed in flames.

Thirty firefighters managed to contain the fire to the unoccupied property and extinguish it within 30 minutes.

The property was vacant at the time but police said the house was destroyed.

Fire crews were then called out to Archer St in North Adelaide just after 4.40am where a back shed was a alight.

Firefighters were able to contain the fire to the shed.

An MFS spokeswoman said fire cause investigators were attending the sites to determine the cause of the blazes and the damage.

In a fourth overnight fire, a stolen car was set alight in Novar Gardens.

Police were called to Thomson Court after reports of a car on fire about 3.45am.

Patrols found a Jeep Grand Cherokee burnt out at the end of the cul-de-sac but have been unable to locate the suspect.

Checks revealed the car had been stolen the previous day from a Brighton address, with police investigating the incident.
