Arrested for Sparking Spokane’s Devastating Wildfires | Detroit News
Description
A 37-year-old man has been arrested in Spokane for allegedly starting the Old Trails Fire, one of three catastrophic wildfires that have displaced 67,000 people and destroyed over 700 homes. Found with waterproof matches and a lighter near the fire’s origin, he now faces first-degree arson charges. With extreme drought, heat, and wind fueling the flames—and more dangerous conditions expected—firefighters battle to contain blazes in high-risk zones where homes border wildlands. Governor Ferguson calls it the worst natural disaster in Spokane’s history, as residents mourn lost lives, memories, and possessions.
