High winds propelled the blaze across the army base in Wainwright, killing four soldiers and injuring dozens more. A fire that killed four soldiers at a western Canadian military base was sparked by an exercise using live grenades, a military official said. The deadly fire broke out on a grenade launcher range during military exercises on Saturday, with high winds propelling it across the base, Brigadier-General Vanessa Hanrahan, commander of the Canadian Forces Military Police Group, told reporters on Thursday. “A subsequent change in wind direction and velocity significantly increased the fire’s intensity,” she added, with the flames spreading to a training area at the Wainwright military base in Alberta. Due to the blaze being in the “permanent danger area” of the range, firefighters were unable to directly combat it, Hanrahan added. The fire spread on Saturday afternoon during high-intensity combat training involving Charlie Company of the 3rd Battalion, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. The military base lies in the prairies, a landscape of wide, open grasslands, rolling plains and scattered groves of trees.

Bradford slams Chow for falling short on her housing promise to Torontonians Mayoral candidate Brad Bradford says Mayor Olivia Chow has fallen short of her commitment to building homes in the city. “Unfortunately, housing starts have cratered.

Investigation into deadly CFB Wainwright fire 'will take as long as it takes,' commander says5 hours ago|Duration 0:56Maj-Gen.

The LatestMilitary officials, including Canada's top soldier, provided an update on Thursday on the investigation into the deadly fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta. Officials said the fire resulted from a training exercise and was reported on the base's automatic grenade launcher range, which hampered firefighters' response. Four service members were killed in the fire and 27 more remain hospitalized in serious condition. At a separate news conference in Saskatchewan, the parents of one of the victims said they were "shattered" by the loss of their son, a "mischievous … loving" man who was chasing his dream of joining the Armed Forces. The military said an investigation by a board of inquiry will have a broad scope, including whether training policies were appropriate and why a grass fire wasn't assessed as a threat during strong winds.
