Man Arrested in Spokane Wildfire | Hattiesburg News

A 37-year-old man, Aaron Farinacci, has been arrested in connection with the Old Trails Fire — the largest of three devastating wildfires that destroyed at least 700 homes and displaced 67,000 people in Spokane. The arrest followed a tip about suspicious behavior near the fire’s origin, and authorities found him with matches and a lighter. While the blaze is under investigation, the other two fires remain unexplained. Over 1,000 firefighters are battling the flames, and though no deaths have occurred, some residents — like Miriam and Daniel Sim, who’ve lived in their home since 2005 — face heartbreaking losses as they grapple with rebuilding later in life. Authorities continue searching for a few missing evacuees, but most are believed safe and simply out of contact. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
