A fire at a homeless encampment in St. Catharines on this very cold day.

Smoke could be seen coming from the 406 overpass at Westchester Ave., where the encampment has been situated under the bridge for quite some time.

Fire and police arrived on the scene to find a fire spreading between tents, couches, blankets and tarps.

No injuries are being reported, as no one was on scene when officials arrived.

The temperature in Niagara is hovering at -4 today.
