Fast-moving grass fire caused Canada’s military base tragedy
Four Canadian soldiers were killed and 39 others, including 19 critically injured, when a fire broke out during live-fire combat training at CFB Wainwright in Alberta. The cause of the fire is under investigation, but strong winds are believed to have rapidly spread the flames. The incident is one of the worst peacetime tragedies for Canada's military on domestic soil, with Prime Minister Mark Carney ordering flags to be flown at half-staff.
