Just months after Mayor Kevin Johnson clears out "tent city", Sacramento's homeless are back in the area setting up camp.
Just south of what was formerly known as "tent city", Sac Firefighters were called to a grass fire behind Downtown Ford, and off of 18th Street and Brier Rd. at approximately 9:20 p.m.
Down an embankment between the bike path and Downtown Ford, some homeless had set up camp. Sources say that there was an altercation and the area was purposely set on fire.
Sac City Firefighters contained the fire to the immediate area with approximately two to three acres involved. Per Capt. Jim Doucette, SacFire, Paramedics transported one victim of the altercation to the hospital with facial injuries. At this time, it is unknown if there have been any arrests.

"Sacramento City Firefighters quickly knock down blaze allegedly"
I realize it'll take some reworking of how the list of headlines is styled (unfortunately not as easy as changing the overflow attribute), but the front page just looks silly sometimes.
