Max said he normally leaves the burner in a pot, but he forgot to do that Thursday night. “Unless I forget, that’s what I do. So if it does tip over, it won’t go all over the place,” he said. He planned to set up a new tent for shelter in another area of the park. No one was injured in the fire, which broke out across from South Park Elementary School shortly after 7:30 p.m. Someone walking in the park spotted the flames and ran to a fire hall on Michigan Street to report it. Firefighters were on scene within minutes and found the tent and surrounding debris fully engulfed, with flames shooting almost 10 metres in the air.
