10:20Now PlayingAerial images captured by Nearmap show the Old Trails Fire sweeping through neighborhoods in Spokane County on Saturday afternoon. Captured around seven hours after the fire began, they show hundreds of burned homes and firefighters trying to halt the spread of the blaze.
The trio of fires in Spokane – the Old Trails Fire, the Autumn Lane Fire, and the Fairview Fire – has consumed more than 10,000 acres and have no containment, according to Inciweb, a clearinghouse for wildfire information in the US.
Aaron F. Farinacci, 37, was arrested Monday afternoon in connection with the Old Trails Fire and is being held on a $1 million bond, Spokane County Sheriff John Nowels said.
CNN's John Berman shares before and after images of the extensive damage to homes in the Spokane area. Also, CNN's Marybel Gonzalez reports on Farinacci's arrest, CNN's Sara Sidner speaks with Washington State Commissioner of Public Lands Dave Upthegrove and CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam details the conditions facing firefighters as they attempt to battle the blazes.
