Man Arrested for Starting Spokane Wildfire | Raleigh News
Description
A 37-year-old man, Aaron Farinacci, has been arrested for allegedly starting the Old Trails Fire — the deadliest blaze in Spokane’s history, destroying 700+ homes and forcing 67,000 evacuations. Witnesses spotted him near the fire’s origin, and investigators found matches and a lighter on him. Sheriff John Nowels praised the public’s vigilance. As survivors begin returning to ash-covered neighborhoods, Congress is pushing for emergency aid. Over 1,000 firefighters battle the flames, while authorities warn against drone use near burn zones. No deaths or major injuries have been reported, though some people remain missing. This fire is part of a dangerous Western wildfire trend fueled by drought.
