First responders gather after 'major incident' at Canada military base
Men in orange jumpsuits were seen gathering equipment near the Wainwright Health Center in the early hours of Sunday (October 18), hours after reports of a major incident that caused a fire at one of Canada’s busiest military bases.
They were later seen walking away from the building carrying bags that Canadian media said could possibly be parachutes. A reporter on the ground said the men in the jumpsuits later boarded a bus before it drove away. Medical staff were also seen removing and loading equipment from at least one ambulance at the medical facility.
Defense Minister David McGuinty had told reporters in Ottawa earlier that an incident had occurred at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright. He did not say how many people were killed or injured, or what caused the "tragic" situation at the base in the east-central part of the province, about 210 km (130 miles) east of Edmonton.
