Tent Fire at Occupy SJ Encampment



A peaceful protest getting a little heated on Saturday night---and we mean that literally.

Two tents in the Occupy Saint John encampment caught alight at roughly 4:29am on Sunday. A passing driver noticed the fire and called city fire department.  

The tents that went up in smoke weren't "occupied"--and there were no injuries. Fire officials aren't sure what caused the blaze. City Police are also investigating how the fires started.
