SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A man from Spokane, Washington, was arrested Monday and charged with setting one of the devastating wildfires that have destroyed hundreds of homes and other structures in and around the state’s second-largest city.

Farinacci, 37, was arrested and booked on suspicion of first degree arson in connection with the Old Trails Fire, the largest of three blazes burning around Spokane.

Together, the fires have destroyed at least 700 buildings and forced some 67,000 people to evacuate.

Authorities haven’t stated a possible cause for the other two fires.
