On November 12, 2026, firefighters in Montreal ordered the dismantling of makeshift shelters in a homeless encampment in the Plateau‑Mont‑Royal borough, giving residents roughly fifteen minutes to leave the site deemed a high fire‑risk area.
The rapid clearance forms part of a series of preventive measures the city has taken against unsafe homeless encampments.
