Spokane Fires Highlight Suspect’s Troubled Past

Since July 2025, Aaron Farinacci has confessed to starting 25 fires in Spokane, Washington. He is a suspect in one of the three significant fires that have ravaged parts of the city.

Farinacci, previously incarcerated for killing his father, finds himself linked again to a serious crime. This week, his admission to law enforcement suggests a continued pattern of criminal behavior following his prison release.

More than a decade ago, Farinacci served a sentence for the fatal shooting of his father. Recent events have brought his longstanding history of crime into the spotlight once more. The Spokane County Sheriff and Spokane Valley Fire Department are actively involved in the ongoing investigation into these fires.
