Fire destroys popular sports complex

A suspicious fire early on Monday morning saw emergency crews race to save a popular Adelaide sports complex that had gone up in flames.

Fire crews were called to the Campbelltown Community Club at approximately 5.30am.

It took them 20 minutes to contain the blaze at the Paradise complex, in the city's northeast.

The attempts of firefighters were sadly in vain, with most of the building destroyed completely.

Police are investigating the fire.

Darley Road in Paradise remains closed as firefighters keep an eye on the building for any spot fires.
