It was all rock and roll when a tenant of Malbas Backpackers decided to hang a coat hanger from a sprinkler system, causing mass flooding to the hotel and the nightclub below.

Malbas Backpackers manager and caretaker Darren McLean said he was running an errand last Saturday and when he returned at about 6.30pm, the alarms were set off.

One of the tenants had hung a coat hanger from a sprinkler, setting off sprinklers throughout the building.

The building was flooded and leaked through the ceiling into Malbas Night Club Nelson, which was not affiliated to the backpackers.

McLean understood the night club had to close its back bar on the Saturday night. It was "obviously a shame but the same could be said to all of us", he said.

"It was just one of those unfortunate things that happens."

The backpackers was not extensively damaged, he said.

All the computers and electrical equipment had to be removed for a week.

They had lost some business as they had to turn customers away, but hoped insurance would cover the loss, he said.

The owner was contemplating taking the perpetrator, who no longer lived at the backpackers, to the disputes tribunal.

There was anger at the Christchurch Home Show after a fire this morning set off the venue's automatic sprinkler system and did millions of dollars of damage to trade stalls and the products in them.

More than 180 stalls were affected and the home show had to be cancelled.

As the people started streaming in, they were told to turn around. The home show was off.

A small fire started at about 7am this morning inside the CBS Arena.

It triggered the venue's automatic sprinkler system, which rained down on and potentially damaged many of the 180-odd trade stalls set up inside.

"Obviously there's been a lot of smoke damage," says Vbase general manager Darren Burden. "The sprinklers activated and the fire brigade were on scene pretty quickly."

More than 1200 people were expected to attend the Rebuild and Renovate Christchurch Home Show over the weekend.

"The business that these shows can unfold for local businesses is in the millions," says event organiser Amanda Magnus. "It's a huge blow to everyone involved."

Many of the stalls were also at the Auckland Home Show, including Patrick Scott who had more than $150,000 worth of spas and pool products inside.

"I hate to think. It's going to take us quite a while to work out cost of sales, cost of goods," says Mr Scott.

CANCELLED: Notice on the CBS Arena doors today.

FIRE FIGHTERS: The fire service outside CBS Arena this morning.

TURNED AWAY: Exhibitors for the home show were disappointed.

NO GO:People weren't able to access the arena.

The CBS Arena is under lock down after a fire, believed to have been sparked by a spa pool, caused extensive water damage.

The Fire Service responded to a sprinkler system alarm at the arena in the early hours of this morning. The blaze was under control in about an hour.

An anonymous source said the fire had been caused by a spa pool which was part of a show display, however fire investigators were still on site.

A Fire Service spokesman said the fire was of a medium size, but the most damage had been caused by the sprinkler system.

Vbase venue management general manager Darren Burden said the extent of the damage would not be known until staff could get inside the building.
