COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.- Investigators say they now know what caused the deadly Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado Springs, but they may not release specifics just yet.

Officials say they expect to hold a press conference sometime on Wednesday, where they will reveal the fire was human-caused, but the details could end there.

The Waldo Canyon Fire killed two people and destroyed around 350 homes.

It's still unknown whether it was an accident or set deliberately.

Investigators say they don't want all of the information to be released because their investigation is ongoing.
