Man charged with arson in Spokane, Washington, told police he planned wildfire for weeksSPOKANE, Wash. (AP) – A Spokane County detective who interviewed the man accused of starting one of the city’s wildfires said the man confessed, described his planning process and explained how he created a device to ignite the blaze.
Detective Michael Drapeau said in a court filing Wednesday that Aaron Farinacci told him that he planned the Old Trails fire for about two weeks.
Drapeau said Farinacci told him that “fire is powerful, beautiful, and that things that go through fire experience a kind of rebirth.”
Farinacci told the detective he knew it would be a large fire but didn’t intend for it to grow as much as it did.
Farinacci told the detective that he ran from the tracks and headed for the street.
