A fire started by a homeless person gets a little out of control.

The Waco Fire Department received a call at 12:43 p.m. about a large amount of smoke coming from under a bridge on Martin Luther King Boulevard, between Taylor Street and Interstate 35.

Crews were dispatched to the area and found a fire under the bridge starting to spread throughout the area. The fire was quickly contained and extinguished.

Firefighters believe this campfire was started by a homeless person in the area either as a way to keep warm or a way to cook something.

In addition, crews found a gun at the scene and took it for investigation.

Two Waco Fire Department units responded to the scene, as well as the battalion chief.
