Another fire erupts at an Austin homeless camp. Austin Fire said the blaze popped up at a camp at an underpass near 183 and Cameron Road. No injuries were reported. Since the council relaxed public camping rules, Austin has seen several fires at various camps around the city. AFD officials dicribed the area as a field of debris, including propane tanks, furniture, and hundreds of needles littered across the ground.
