A 37-year-old man with a violent past has been arrested on suspicion of starting the deadly Old Trails Fire in Spokane County, sparking a statewide emergency as wildfires displace tens of thousands and force evacuations. With $1 million bail, Farinacci’s arrest follows days of investigation after a witness spotted him near the blaze’s origin — and comes amid rising smoke that’s blanketing the state, prompting a ban on outdoor burning through September. Residents recount harrowing scenes of exploding homes and choking skies, while crews battle flames and officials scramble to assess damage — many survivors say they won’t rebuild where they once lived.
