No injuries were reported following a fire at a tent in an overflow parking lot in Peterborough, Ont., on Thursday night.
According to the Peterborough Police Service, just before midnight, officers and Peterborough Fire Services responded to a fire at a tent overflow lot in the area of Wolfe and Dalhousie streets.
Fire services platoon chief Jeff Guest there were “multiple” small structures fully involved with the fire extending to adjacent structures and exposures on Dalhousie Street.
The fire was extinguished and there were no reports of any injuries but one person has been displaced, said Guest.
“Crews were quickly able to account for all occupants and subsequently initiated fire suppression operations preventing extension and restricting damage to those already on fire,” he said.
On Friday morning, police Staff Sgt. Dan MacLean stated no charges were laid in the incident.
A damage estimate has yet to be determined, Guest said.
