The fire department said the river bottom is an area filled with many homeless encampments. Thankfully, no one was injured.

It said, it's unclear what ignited the fire.

Brian Floyd, a Brawley resident, said, "It's like somebody has taken the area of the river bottom and called it's own. I know they need somewhere to go, but they're starting a lot of fires and using a lot of resources, I hope at some time someone does something about it."
