Arrest Made in Old Trails Fire | Washington DC News

A Spokane County man, 37, has been arrested in connection with the deadly Old Trails Fire—one of three major wildfires burning in the region, destroying hundreds of homes and charring over 3,600 acres. Charged with first-degree arson and held on a $1 million bond, he was identified after a witness spotted him acting nervously near the fire’s origin, shortly before flames erupted. Authorities found waterproof matches and a butane lighter on him during questioning. While this arrest is specific to the Old Trails Fire, officials confirm no link yet to the other two blazes. All three fires remain zero percent contained, forcing evacuations and urging residents to stay vigilant. The motive behind the Old Trails Fire remains unknown as the crisis continues to escalate across the county.
