Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

Fire at Canadian military base in Alberta kills 4, injures dozens. Prime Minister Mark Carney says it is one of the worst peace time tragedies.

The fire, which started during a live firing exercise, spread rapidly due to high winds. Authorities confirm four service members died and dozens were seriously injured. The cause is under investigation.

Medical facilities in Edmonton were overwhelmed by the number of injured. The Canadian Defence Ministry says the situation is still evolving and more details will be released in the coming days.

The fire occurred at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, a key military training site in Alberta. Authorities have not confirmed if the injured were on the base's ranges or living quarters.
