Devastating fire at CFB Wainwright started on automatic grenade launcher range, official says - The Globe and Mail

Open this photo in gallery:Soldiers stationed at CFB Wainwright fly the regimental flag of the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI), in Wainwright, Alta., on Wednesday. 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.

CFB Wainwright fire began on automatic grenade launcher range that crews could not reach: official - CP24

The deadly fire at an Alberta military base first began on an automatic grenade launcher range during routine exercises, officials say. The original location of the fire meant crews could not properly fight it and instead monitored the flames before high winds would change the course of the evening. Maj.-Gen. Wade Rutland of the 1st Canadian Division has said Saturday’s blaze began as a grass fire, but a violent windstorm sent flames racing toward soldiers training at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright. He told reporters during a press conference Thursday in Edmonton that piecing together the minutes of the day will be ongoing and require the first accounts of soldiers who remain in hospital. The Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Wainwright fire killed four and initially sent 39 wounded to various hospitals across the province. Officials confirmed Thursday that number was down to 27 patients, with 13 in critical condition. Canadian Forces Provost Marshal Brig.-Gen. Vanessa Hanrahan says some 30 military police are actively working to examine what happened on Sunday; investigating witness accounts, specialist expertise and reviewing the scene of the fire.
