A MAN has been charged following a fire at an apartment building in West Belfast.
It comes after police received a report of a fire on the Stewartstown Road, just before 4.45pm on Tuesday afternoon.
Police attended alongside Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service, who extinguished the blaze.
A number of residents had to be evacuated due to the poor air quality following the fire, and they remain out of their homes at this time. There were no injuries.
A 26 year-old man has been charged with arson with intent to endanger life.
He will appear before Belfast Magistrates' Court later on Wednesday.
