Christopher Katsarov/The Canadian PressA wildfire that killed four Canadian Forces soldiers at a military base in Wainwright, Alta., on Saturday started on the base’s automatic grenade launcher range, Brigadier-General Vanessa Hanrahan told reporters on Thursday. Brig.-Gen. Hanrahan is the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal, the top solider in charge of Canada’s military police, which is conducting one of three concurrent investigations into the fire. The military is conducting its own board of inquiry, and Alberta’s Office of Chief Medical Examiner is also investigating. At a press conference Thursday afternoon, Brig.-Gen. Hanrahan said her investigation shows the fire started at what’s called the “AGL” range, as part of routine training in that area. The fire initially stayed within what is known as a “permanent danger area” of the range, which prevented firefighters from attacking it directly.
