Charred homes, burned out cars - before and after images show Spokane wildfire destruction

A man has been arrested on suspicion of arson over the largest of the wildfires that have forced more than 60,000 people to evacuate from the city of Spokane in Washington state.

Three major fires have been burning around the north-western state's second-most-populous city since the weekend, with firefighters still working to contain the flames.

Aaron Farinacci, 37, was allegedly seen kneeling near grass at the site of the fire and later found to have matches and a lighter, the Spokane County Sheriff said.
