'Violent, fast-moving fire swept through…': Canadian PM confirms 4 dead in CFB Wainwright blaze

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has confirmed that four service members were killed and dozens more seriously injured in a fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta. Calling it one of the worst peacetime tragedies for Canada's military on domestic soil, Carney said the families of the deceased had been notified. The fire broke out late Saturday as fierce winds drove flames beyond the military base into surrounding rural areas. Canadian military officials said there were no indications of terrorism, while the cause of the blaze remains under investigation.
