The man charged with arson in the destructive Spokane wildfires told police he planned the fires for weeks and deliberately set around 25 separate fires across the region. He confessed to the deliberate planning phase.
Premeditation over weeks changes the nature of the crime. This wasn't a moment of rage or recklessness — it was sustained intent. Planning 25 fires suggests he was either testing how far he could go before getting caught or intended maximum damage. The scale and deliberation make this a more serious act of destruction than a single impulsive fire.
