Disaster in Canada: Military base fire inferno: 19 injured in life-threatening condition
A fatal incident has occurred at a military base in the Canadian province of Alberta. A grass fire spread quickly, killing four people and injuring dozens.
A fire at the Wainwright military base in Canada has killed four people and injured at least 19 others, with 39 people hospitalized for burns. The fire broke out in grassland on the base and spread quickly due to strong winds, engulfing a training area where soldiers were exercising with live ammunition. The cause of the fire is under investigation, and it is not currently believed to have involved oil or gas infrastructure on the base.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney described the incident as one of the "worst tragedies" for the army on Canadian soil in peacetime.
