A Melbourne man is set to face court accused of deliberately setting grassfires in the city's northern suburbs.
The 47-year-old was arrested on Saturday morning over three blazes in Craigieburn and Roxburgh Park in the early hours, as well as a series of fires dating back to October.
Police say fire crews extinguished the blazes before they could damage properties.
