Police are investigating a suspicious fire in Enfield this morning that had the potential to destroy a house, according to SA Police.
Just before 8am today, an alert passerby spotted smoke coming from the carport of a house in Flint Street, Enfield and called emergency services.
Fire crews attended and extinguished the fire, which was burning in a couch in the carport, under the main roof of the newly built house.
The family were not home at the time of the fire and there were no injuries.
