Episode Details

Aaron Farinacci, accused of igniting the devastating Old Trails Fire in Spokane County, now faces four new arson charges and a doubled bail of $2 million after allegedly admitting to starting 25 fires since 2025. Court docs reveal he meticulously planned the blaze—studying weather apps and building a delayed ignition device modeled after a notorious arsonist. Evidence links him to other major blazes, including Aubrey White and Copper River/Meenach. His defense seeks a mental competency evaluation, while prosecutors argue the bail is justified given the severity and danger posed. The case remains complex and unfolding.
