After more than 40 days, the Regina City Hall tent camp ended with a showdown that saw several people taken into police custody.
After a morning blaze that claimed a tent, Regina Fire Chief Layne Jackson called for the immediate removal of the city hall camp.
A residential fire in Regina last Sunday that involved two homes and left one person dead and another injured was unintentional, fire marshal Randy Ryba said on Thursday.
The camp, which ahs stood since November of 2022, was torn down on Wednesday morning with three residents now finding shelter elsewhere.
People seeking warmth or shelter might be behind some of the rise in fires seen in Regina, according to city officials and statistics.
