A homeless camp under the Gardiner Expressway caught on fire earlier today, marking the fourth emcampment fire in the past few weeks.

Toronto Police received a call of a fire at Lakeshore and Spadina under the Gardiner just before 2 p.m. today, and they said Toronto Fire was on route.

At the time, police told Toronto residents to expect delays in the area and to find an alternate route of travel if possible.
