Hudson’s Hope Fire officials say the fire appears human-caused.
“This was a very careless act. Things could have turned very bad, very quickly. A fire like this could have run into the trees, putting our community, property, and human safety at extreme risk with how dry the current conditions are,” says Fire Chief Brad Milton.
