Engine-6 was dispatched to a reported outside fire tonight in the area of the Ira Walker Park on 6th Avenue. They arrived within a few minutes and found an approximately 10x10 area within a homeless camp burning. A pantless individual was sitting in the woods a few yards from the blaze. Also on location were at least 10 children, who were likely playing in the area of the public playground less than 50 yards from the fire and extensive camp. The individual fled the area after being contacted by Engine-6's crew. The fire was extinguished quickly and AFD cleared without incident.
