No one was injured after a brush fire broke out Sunday morning at Sunset Park in Las Vegas.

About two acres of brush in the park burned in the fire after it was reported about 10:45 a.m., Clark County Fire Department Deputy Chief Jeff Buchanan said.

Evidence at the scene led firefighters to believe the fire was started at a homeless camp.

Buchanan said residents were concerned the fire would spread to a nearby housing development, but no structures were affected.

Henderson police and firefighters also assisted at the scene.
