The Montreal fire department responded to two fires Wednesday morning at a homeless encampment on Notre-Dame St., two days after authorities dismantled sections of the camp.
According to the fire department, separate fires broke out in a tent and bin in the encampment along the east-end thoroughfare.
The fires were a few blocks apart from each other, at the corners of Davidson St. and Moreau St. Few other details were available Wednesday morning.
On Monday, the department said there were only two people remaining in the areas of the encampment targeted by the dismantlement when workers arrived on site.
Advocates for the unhoused people have denounced the dismantlement, arguing there aren’t enough spaces in Montreal’s homeless shelter network to accommodate the growing number of unhoused people in the city.
