A deadly fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta has killed at least seven people and injured dozens more after a serious incident in the base's training area on Saturday.
Canada's defense minister confirmed fatalities and injuries, but said the official casualty count will not be released until families are notified. According to reports, the fire broke out around four p.m. local time on Saturday afternoon and spread rapidly beyond the base as fierce winds swept the region. Hospitals in Edmonton activated mass-casualty protocols as nearby medical facilities were overwhelmed by the number of patients. The cause of the incident remains under investigation.
