House of Hope Trailer Fire Ruled Arson Caused

Investigators say a fire near the house of hope was intentionally set.

On Saturday afternoon July 14th, fire crews were called to a trailer fire in the alley between Wolcott and Durbin Streets.

The trailer contained donated items from the House of Hope, and was destroyed.

Residents of the House of Hope were forced to move out Friday, after city officials deemed the building unsafe because of code violations.

Casper police say the fire was arson-related, and they have arrested a person of interest, but that person has not yet been charged.
