Man detained over Washington forest fire
A 37-year-old man was arrested in Washington State on suspicion of being involved in starting a devastating wildfire in the city of Spokane, which resulted in the loss of hundreds of homes and the destruction of thousands of hectares of land. The area has been declared a state of emergency, with approximately 60,000 people evacuated. Three wildfires have broken out, destroying about 31 million square meters of land. Authorities warn that weather conditions conducive to further fires continue due to strong winds and severe drought. So far, there have been no reported deaths or injuries. Fire crews are working tirelessly to contain the blazes, amidst a state of emergency declared by the governor to address the disaster caused by climate change and ongoing drought for the fourth consecutive year.
