A 60-year-old Kalgoorlie man, who allegedly doused a woman in petrol and set fire to an office building in December, has been granted bail, despite admitting to starting the blaze.
The Kalgoorlie Magistrate's Court on Thursday heard Raymond John O'Brien stood out the front of the Egan Street building watching it burn, and that he told police officers who arrived on the scene that he had started the fire.
