Arrest in Old Trails Fire Investigation | Spokane News
Description
A 37-year-old Spokane resident with a prior felony manslaughter conviction has been arrested in connection with the devastating Old Trails fire — one of three major wildfires that scorched nearly 8,000 acres in Spokane County. Facing a first-degree arson charge, the suspect is believed to have started the blaze near West Euclid Road, which destroyed around 700 homes in minutes. Though he has no prior arson record, authorities say he’s been flagged for arson-related behavior before. The DNR, sheriff’s office, and local fire departments are working together to determine how the fire began — and why it spread so fast. The other two fires, Autumn Lane and Fairview, remain under investigation.
