A large amount of smoke by the Hawthorne Bridge Thursday afternoon had people wondering.

It turns out a fire had broken out at the homeless camp that has been established under the bridge by the Willamette River.

Nearly two dozen people call the camp home.

Several of the tents caught fire.

There are no known injuries.

The fire was quickly put out.

A reporter for the Oregonian tweeted out view of the smoke from across the river.
