Four Canadian soldiers were killed and 39 others injured after a fire that began on an automatic grenade launcher training range at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright spread on 22 October, Canadian officials said. The blaze, which raced a kilometre in under a minute, prompted a multi-agency investigation and sent dozens of patients to hospitals, with 19 in critical condition.

Earlier reports described the fire overwhelming local emergency services, strong winds fanning the flames, and a large response effort by military and civilian crews. The incident follows a series of statements from military and emergency officials confirming the death toll and the scale of injuries, and confirming that the investigation remains ongoing.
