House fire at Crafers - 17 May 2025
CFS crews were called to a house fire on Schocroft Avenue at Crafers in the Adelaide Hills, just before 2pm this afternoon.
Approximately 16 volunteer firefighters on five trucks responded to the fire and were able to contain it to the dining room and kitchen areas, saving more than half of the home. The residents had closed doors to the bathroom and some other rooms, which has limited the impacted of smoke throughout the house.
The CFS is being supported by SA Police, SA Power Networks and SA Ambulance Service.
Firefighters are expected to remain on scene for several hours to extinguish any hot spots and make the scene safe.
The residents were not home at the time, and no one was injured.
Total losses are estimated to be $150,000 and Fire Investigators will be attending to determine the cause.
