U.S. authorities detain arson suspect in Spokane
The US authorities in Spokane County, Washington, have arrested a man suspected of intentionally setting one of the fires that destroyed hundreds of buildings and led to the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents. The suspect, Aaron Farinachi (37 years old), has been detained on charges of first-degree arson with bail set at one million dollars, after it was confirmed that the fire was most likely caused by matches used to ignite grass on the side of the road. These fires are part of a series of three major blazes in the area, and investigations are ongoing into the causes of the other two fires, as firefighters continue to battle a wave of heat and severe drought that have fueled ongoing wildfires for weeks.
