A man has been arrested after he allegedly set fire to his home in the southern suburbs yesterday afternoon.

About 4.20pm on Sunday 7 July, Southern District Police were called to a Hackham West address after reports of a house fire and domestic disturbance.

On arrival patrols located a fire at the front door which was quickly extinguished.

Polie will allege the male occupant deliberately set fire to the front door of the house while four other occupants of the house were inside.

There were no reported injuries as a result of the fire.

The 57-year-old man was arrested and charged with arson and four counts of endangering life.  He was refused police bail and appeared in Christies Beach Magistrates Court this afternoon.
