A man from Spokane, Washington has been charged with setting a large wildfire in the area. He was previously convicted of manslaughter in the death of his father in Arizona in 2010. The current charges against him are related to the Old Trails Fire, one of three blazes in the eastern Washington city.

The fires have had a significant impact on the community, with hundreds of buildings destroyed and tens of thousands of people forced to evacuate. As of Tuesday morning, the fires had not been contained. Further details on the arrest and the ongoing situation are available from the Spokane County Sheriff's Office and other local sources.
