An 18-year-old Washington state teen was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and arson after authorities said illegal fireworks launched from a truck sparked the deadly Chelan Hills Fire.
The blaze scorched roughly 15.6 square miles, destroyed more than 100 structures and killed 69-year-old Robert Lister, while authorities are seeking warrants for five others.
