The former governor of Washington State blamed the raging wildfires on climate change, but a man who was previously convicted of killing his father has been arrested for allegedly starting the blazes.
Jay Inslee, who served in the role from 2013 to 2025, shared a video of himself on Sunday afternoon discussing the wildfires that have burned more than 10,000 acres and remain zero percent contained as of Tuesday morning.
Inslee donned a casual royal blue hoodie and filmed himself outside as he spoke about the infernos.
In the clip and its caption, the Democrat said climate change was to blame for the fires. He also made the same assumption on CNN.
‘Three enormous wildfires are raging in Spokane. Thousands of people are evacuating, not knowing if they’ll come back to a home or nothing but ashes.
‘Climate change isn’t some faraway threat. It’s happening right now, to our neighbors and friends. We have to fight for them,’ Inslee, 75, wrote.
The following day, Aaron F Farinacci, 37, was arrested and booked on suspicion of arson after he allegedly started the Old Trail Fire in Spokane.
His arrest came nearly 15 years after he pleaded guilty to killing his father during a fight over washing the dishes, the East Valley Tribune previously reported.
In October 2010, Farinacci, then 21, got into an argument with his father and mother, Jeffrey and Beth Farinacci, at their home in Mesa, Arizona, after they asked him to do the dishes, the outlet stated.
He then went into his parents’ room, locked the door behind him, and grabbed a gun from a nightstand, police said at the time.
Jeffrey, 48, entered the room after locating a spare key. Once the door opened, his son shot him.
His father called for his wife, but when she made her way to them, Aaron pointed the gun at her, the report stated.
