A violent, fast‑moving fire broke out on Saturday at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta, resulting in four fatalities and injuries to dozens of personnel. Prime Minister Mark Carney described the incident as one of the worst peacetime tragedies to affect Canada’s armed forces on Canadian soil.

Emergency responders battled the blaze for several hours before bringing it under control. The base, which houses a large contingent of army troops, was temporarily evacuated as fire crews worked to contain the flames and secure the area.
