Allan David Broadhead faced the Launceston Magistrates Court today.
Magistrate Michael Brett read out the indictable charges to the self-represented Broadhead, who entered guilty pleas to each count.
Broadhead pleaded guilty to having unlawfully lit five vegetation fires at Epping Forest between December 13 and 15 last year.
The fires were on Crown land and mostly bushland and scrub, plus one eucalyptus scrub fire.
Mr Brett committed Broadhead for sentence in the Supreme Court in Launceston on April 27 at 10am.
He adjourned Broadhead's summary charges, being five counts of having lit a fire in a protected area during the permit period, to a date to be fixed without plea.
