SAINT JOHN, N.B. – A tent fire has claimed the lives of two people in New Brunswick.
The Saint John Police Force says in a news release that emergency crews responded to a fire on Paradise Row on Monday afternoon, and that two people were found dead after it was put out.
It says officers are working to figure out who they were in order to notify their families, and that police and the Saint John Fire Department continue to investigate the cause of the fire.
In January, a 44-year-old man died from burns he suffered in a fire at a homeless camp that was also along Paradise Row.
Det. Sgt. Matthew Weir said in an email late Monday that he believed the fatal fire earlier in the day was in the same area as the one in January.
Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone in the area who has video or surveillance footage before, during or after Monday’s fire occurred.
