Lightning has sparked a fire at an Adelaide factory which destroyed $300,000 worth of pallets and spread to a neighbouring home.

It took firefighters about two hours to contain the blaze in Para Hills West, in which a large number of pallets caught alight.

The Metropolitan Fire Service says the fire started after lightning struck the building on Tuesday night.
