A man is due to appear in court after allegedly burning down a Napier home in March.
Levi J Pauling, 37, of Napier, faces a charge of intentional damage to property by fire knowing that danger to life was likely to ensue.
It is understood the charge is in relation to a large fire which destroyed a house on Creagh St on March 29, and caused significant damage to other neighbouring buildings.
