A WOMAN who set fire to her home was unlikely to start more blazes, a court was told yesterday.
A psychiatrist reported that Amanda Jane Westcough, 37, was not a fire risk for the future.
Westcough, of Brunswick Avenue, Teesville, pleaded guilty at Teesside Crown Court to the July 10 arson of the house which belonged to Town and Country Housing.
She was remanded on bail until December 10 for a pre-sentence report after Peter Sabiston, in mitigation, revealed the content of the earlier psychiatric report.
