A Washington man has been arrested on suspicion of starting one of the catastrophic wildfires that have destroyed hundreds of homes and forced tens of thousands of people to flee around Spokane.
Aaron F. Farinacci, 37, was arrested Monday and booked on suspicion of first-degree arson in connection with the Old Trails Fire, the largest of three major blazes burning around Washington's second-largest city, the Spokane County Sheriff's Office said.
