It has now been determined that the massive Elephant Hill wildfire was human-caused.
That determination, from RCMP and BC Wildfire Service investigators, was released today.
It comes more than seven months since the wildfire started in the Ashcroft area back on July 6th.
At its peak, it grew to more than 192,000 hectares in size and forced the evacuation of tens of thousands of residents.
RCMP investigators are seeking the public’s help in the investigation and a dedicated tip line has been activated.
