Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Prime Minister Mark Carney confirmed four military personnel died and 39 injured in a fire at an Alberta base that spread rapidly due to strong winds. The fire, which moved a kilometre in 30 to 60 seconds, injured dozens and left 19 in critical condition.

Carney stated the fire was driven by ferocious winds, jumping nearly a kilometre in under a minute to where soldiers were gathered. Officials say the cause is still unknown, with 50 investigators on the ground. The soldiers were preparing to deploy to Latvia.

The incident has prompted a national mourning, with tributes paid to the fallen. Officials have ruled out terrorist activity, and the fire's origin remains under investigation. The tragedy underscores the risks faced by military personnel during training exercises.
