A man will appear in court tomorrow after allegedly setting fire to a unit in Albury this morning.

About 5.15am (Sunday 10 January 2016), emergency services were called to a unit on Thurgoona Street following reports of a fire.

Fire & Rescue NSW officers attended to the fire, which was extinguished a short time later. Extensive damage was caused to the premises; however no one was injured.

Following initial inquiries by officers attached to Albury Local Area Command, a 54-year-old man was spoken to by police.

He has been charged with two counts of malicious damage by fire, and a number of unrelated offences.

The man has been refused bail, to appear at Albury Local Court tomorrow (Monday 11 January 2016).
