A second person has been charged over an alleged deliberately lit fire at a commercial business in Port Kennedy.

The 32-year-old man is accused of lighting a fire at the premises, located on the corner of Paxton Way and Fielden Way, around 9.40pm on June 14.

He is due to front the Rockingham Magistrates Court on September 10.

The investigation is continuing and officers urge anyone with any information relating to this matter, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or via www.crimestopperswa.com.au
