A former volunteer firefighter who pleaded guilty to setting hay bales on fire in western Saskatchewan last summer has been sentenced to probation and community service.

Logan Sieben was a member of the Macklin & District Fire Department, which last year responded to 20 hay bale fires from July 28 to Aug. 25. Macklin is about 250 kilometres west of Saskatoon.

Sieben ultimately pleaded guilty to one charge of arson causing property damage.

On Monday, Judge Ian Mokoruk released his decision during a hearing in Unity provincial court.
