Se espera que un incendio de rápido avance cause la muerte de cuatro soldados canadienses y deje heridos a decenas de personas en la Base Canadiense de Fuerzas Wainwright, Alberta, el 22 de octubre de 2026, según autoridades. Informes previos indicaban que el fuego podría extenderse un kilómetro en menos de un minuto, saturando los servicios de emergencia locales y obligando a los hospitales a prepararse para numerosos pacientes con quemaduras. El ministro de Defensa David McGuinty, el primer ministro Mark Carney y la primera ministra de Alberta Danielle Smith estaban al tanto de la situación y coordinaban la asistencia provincial.
