BEL AIR, Md. (WBFF) -- Fire crews are on the scene of a blaze that broke out at a homeless encampment Wednesday afternoon.

Bel Air Volunteer Fire Company members responded to the fire on South Atwood Road near Red Oak Drive around 3:00 p.m.

Officials say no injuries were reported and this is the second call of flames at a homeless encampment that crews have received within the last 12 hours.

The other incident occurred off Bel Air Bypass.

There is no information about the cause of the fires.

That is strange, especially with the warm weather.

Do volunteer firefighters really start fires? Makes sense...

Yeah it's actually surprisingly common. Not sure if it's a pyro obsession or they get off on the response. Google "firefighter arson".

It's risky with having a fire if you don't take the proper precautions unless it's accidental. My way is to clean an area, dig a shallow pit, line the pit with rocks then build up and start the fire. Old boy scout knowledge comes in handy. Of course keeping the pack shovel or a jug of water nearby in case and covering it with dirt when it's time to put it out. Fire can become an uncontrollable beast if not properly taken care of, these people were lucky that it wasn't worse than this.

Yea, I guess it is common! According to wiki, approximately 100 firefighters are arrested for arson every year. I guess I get it, I'm a pyro at heart.
