Family of four loses home after inferno engulfs entire house in Adelaide’s north-east

An electrical fault is believed to have started the blaze in the home’s roof space.

A family of four have been left homeless after a fire engulfed their home on Monday morning.

Emergency services rushed to the James Ct home, in Campbelltown in Adelaide’s north-east, at about 2am to find flames coming out of the roof.

The home was uninsured, leaving the family without help.

The Metropolitan Fire Service told 7NEWS that the blaze started in the roof, most likely due to a problem with electrical wiring.

Neighbours have promised to lend a hand to the family.

“Oh dear ... always important to have insurance, but we’re here to help them,” one neighbour told 7NEWS.

The fire is being treated as ‘non-suspicious’ with no reported injuries at the scene.

The blaze caused about $150,000 worth of damage to the home.
