Spokane arson suspect confesses to Old Trails Fire and 25 others

Widespread evacuations affecting multiple communities with expected duration of weeks; property damage from 26 fires across Spokane area.

In the dry hills outside Spokane, a man named Aaron Farinacci spent a year reading the wind — waiting for the precise conditions under which fire would travel farthest and do the most harm. Court records reveal he confessed to setting 26 fires across the region over roughly twelve months, culminating in the Old Trails Fire, which forced thousands from their homes. His arrest answers who struck the match, but leaves a harder question smoldering: how does a sustained campaign of deliberate destruction go undetected for so long, and what does that silence cost a community?
