No Plea for Accused Fire Bug

A volunteer firefighter allegedly responsible for lighting two bushfires at Mannering Park in November 2013, has entered no plea at Toronto Local Court today.

Alex Gordon Noble from Rutherford has two new charges against his name, accused of knowingly causing fire and being reckless to its spread.

The two alleged offences relate to fires which destroyed the historic Wallarah House and Jetty Master's Cottage in Catherine Hill Bay in October 2013.

It's on top of 10 identical charges, to which the 21 year old has already plead guilty.
