The man at the centre of an incident in Levin which saw dozens of people evacuated from their homes is still in hospital.
A spokesperson for Palmerston North Hospital confirmed the man is in a stable condition, but still hospitalised after he was found inside his burning home.
They said charges are being considered, but could not share further details as the investigation is ongoing.
Police had been negotiating with the man after he barricaded himself inside the Bledisloe St property, forcing the evacuation of nearby residents last Thursday.
