Three young girls, aged 12 and 13, have been charged with arson after a fire engulfed an apartment and business complex in Adelaide's north. The blaze started in the three-storey building at Munno Para just after 4.45pm on Saturday. Police say all residents who were home at the time escaped the flames, but two were taken to hospital for smoke inhalation. The girls were arrested overnight and charged with arson and acts to endanger life. They've been bailed to appear in the Elizabeth Youth Court on November 23.
