Dove Fire Suspect Caught Thanks to Public Help | San Francisco News

A wildfire in Tuolumne County, dubbed the Dove Fire, forced over 600 homes to evacuate and threatened another 1,400—until a 30-year-old suspect, Jacob William Hoskins, was arrested after community tips and law enforcement sleuthing. The blaze began near Highway 108, and while initial deputies couldn’t hold him, a Cal Fire officer and public witnesses helped track him down. By Monday, conditions improved: evacuation orders were eased and Highway 108 reopened—thanks to the public’s quick action.
