No one was hurt in a small fire that broke out at a homeless camp in Vancouver on Saturday.

No one was hurt in a fire at a Vancouver homeless camp on Saturday thanks to a response by fast-acting residents.

The blaze was sparked in one of the tents at about 11 a.m. in the camp on Powell Street.

"Apparently some lady was walking by and she yelled fire," camp resident Ward Ferguson told CTV. "It was going pretty good by the time we got there."

Ferguson said he and another resident put out the blaze with fire extinguishers and gallons of water before fire crews arrived.

The man who resides in the tent had reportedly left minutes before the fire began. Minor damage was sustained in his tent.

Ferguson noted that the man's belongings were packed up to move, which likely prevented further damage.

Residents in the homeless camp are being evicted next week.
