LEVY: Another fire breaks out at a Toronto homeless encampment

There was another close call Saturday at a Toronto homeless encampment — one of the many tent cities still proliferating across the city, mostly in downtown parks.

Toronto Police Const. Ed Parks said firefighters responded around 11 a.m. to reports of black smoke coming from the encampment in Clarence Square park, located at Wellington St. and Spadina Ave — within walking distance of the Super 8 by Wyndham, one of the city’s hotel shelters.
