Three Spokane Area Fires Drive Widespread Evacuations as Arson Probe Unfolds

Three major wildfires in the Spokane area — Old Trails, Autumn Lane, and Fairview — have burned thousands of acres, prompted widespread evacuations, and drawn nearly 2,000 firefighters from 176 jurisdictions. As of Aug. 7, containment ranges from 5% to 13% across the fires (Old Trails and Autumn Lane about 13% containment; Fairview 5%), with roughly 10,436 total acres burned and hundreds of structures damaged. Evacuations remain in effect at multiple levels, a Red Flag Warning and air-quality alert persist due to wind and smoke, and investigators say an arson suspect linked to the Old Trails Fire has confessed to planning the blaze.
