A man arrested on suspicion of arson in a large wildfire in Spokane, Washington, was previously linked to two other fire investigations last year. None of the fires has been contained near Spokane, a city of some 230,000 people about 280 miles (450 km) east of Seattle. Residents reported seeing Farinacci near some train tracks before they saw flames in the area, according to charging documents. Authorities stopped Farinacci near the scene. More than 900 firefighters have been assigned to the Washington fires, with reinforcements expected from other states soon.
