FARMINGTON, Mo. (AP) — A former eastern Missouri firefighter accused with two of his colleagues in a 2013 string of arson fires has been sentenced to five years of probation.

The Park Hills Daily Journal reports that 22-year-old David Radford of Park Hills has pleaded guilty in St. Francois County to a charge of attempted arson.

He also must complete 240 hours of community service at the courthouse.

Investigators say Radford tried to set fire to a Park Hills house, and that he also waited in a car while another firefighter set another fire.

A co-defendant, Brad Easter, was sentenced last November to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to arson and weapons counts.

The third firefighter, Dale Hamor, has pleaded guilty to two arson counts and awaits sentencing July 24th.
