53-year-old man dies after Seaside homeless camp fire

A Seaside man who was trying to keep warm with a candle died in a tent fire last week at a city-sanctioned encampment, officials said.The fire follows months of debate over how the city should respond safely and humanely to homelessness on the Oregon coast — and where it should locate the specific encampment, the only designated one in Seaside.
