Spokane wildfire arsonist aimed for dry windy day
A man in Spokane, Washington, was arrested for allegedly intentionally starting a large wildfire, known as the Old Trails Fire, by waiting for a dry, windy day. He claimed responsibility for the fire and 25 other fires in the area over the past year. The fire forced over 60,000 evacuations, destroyed more than 700 buildings, and was the largest of three fires affecting the region. The suspect appeared in court, with his bond raised to $2 million, and a mental competency evaluation ordered.
