  "summary": "Four members of the Canadian Armed Forces, including Sgt. Morgan Wong, Pvt. Shaun Farrell, Pvt. Aidan Goulding, and Pvt. Hayden Lykkemark, were killed in a fire at CFB Wainwright on Saturday. The Canadian Armed Forces have identified the victims, and their families have been notified. Prince Albert, Sask., resident Patricia Farrell confirmed her son Shaun had died in the incident. The fire began due to a grass fire that ignited in the training area, which was exacerbated by uncommonly strong winds. An investigation into the cause of the fire is underway. Among those injured, at least 19 are in critical condition, with a total of 39 patients receiving hospital care. The training exercise was preparing soldiers for potential global response tasks, with the battalion scheduled to deploy to Latvia in April and May.",
