Thunder Bay - Two people were taken to hospital following a fire at the Kam River encampment on Wednesday morning.

When the first crews arrived on scene, they found a tent fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters quickly extinguished the fire with hand lines.
Paramedics were called to the scene and transported two people to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre for medical assessment.
A news release from Thunder Bay Fire Rescue said damage was limited to one tent, and Thunder Bay Police are investigating.
