A 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of arson related to the Spokane wildfire that destroyed over 700 structures and forced 60,000 residents to evacuate. Court records show he had previously served time for manslaughter in connection with his father's death.
The arrest closes a specific public safety investigation but raises separate questions about how someone with a history of lethal violence was at large and accessible to set fires. The wildfire's scale—700-plus structures destroyed and 60,000 evacuations—shows the damage one person can inflict, especially when that person has a documented pattern of harming others.
