Woman arrested after hotel fire on North Terrace

Emergency services responded to fire alarms at the North Terrace hotel just after 10.30am on Saturday 6 April.

Fortunately, all guests managed to be safely evacuated from the hotel and there were no reports of injuries.

The fire was contained to one room on the 12th floor; however, significant water damage was caused to rooms over several floors due to sprinkler activation.

Fire investigators attended and examined the scene.

The cause of the fire has been determined to be an electric scooter recharging.  The e-scooter has been seized for forensic examination.

Following an investigation by Eastern District CIB detectives, a 24-year-old Woodville North woman was arrested and charged with recklessly causing property damage.

She was refused police bail and will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday 8 April.
