On 22 August 2004, a fire at a shopping centre in Torrens Park, Adelaide caused in excess of $25 million damage and affected over 50 business owners. The South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service reported that the fire had been deliberately lit.

Fire fighting efforts saved the complex from complete destruction; half the complex was saved from the fire and many stores were open for business within a few days. The incident involved 70 firefighters, 13 pumps, two aerial appliances and three specialist vehicles and assistance from the Country Fire Service.
