A 73-year-old man has been remanded in custody at Derry Magistrate's Court today charged with arson endangering life.
Michael McKinney of no fixed abode appeared charged with arson with intent to endanger life on May 17 involving a bin.
He also faces a charge of arson of a drainpipe on the same date.
A police officer connected the accused to the charges.
Defence solicitor Paddy MacDermott said that his client was homeless and there would be no bail application.
He said that there could be a bail application 'down the line' if an address became available.
The solicitor said that his client denied any intent to endanger life as he said he was homeless and lit fires to keep warm.
McKinney was remanded in custody to appear again on June 15.
