Fire at Encampment Sparks Safety Concerns | Canada News
Description
A fire erupted Tuesday night near the Atwater Tunnel, sending explosions and flames into the sky—leaving a charred mess by Wednesday. This isn’t the first blaze: a similar fire in October was delayed for months due to snow removal. Residents say the encampment, which has grown over two years, poses a serious fire risk—and that the city’s hands-off approach is failing those in need. Cleanup promised for spring hasn’t happened, and propane tanks may have contributed to the blasts. Despite outreach, officials remain silent. Safety and support are urgently needed.
