According to Canadian media reports, a senior Canadian military official said on October 22, local time, that a serious fire at a military base in western Canada last week “began at an automatic grenade launcher firing range and was triggered by live fire training.” Firefighters were unable to enter and put out the fire in a timely manner due to the location of the fire in a dangerous area. Afterwards, due to strong winds, the fire spread rapidly. The military officer said that the investigation team is still determining all decision-making processes that occurred from the outbreak of the fire to dealing with this tragic incident, and there is still limited information that can be confirmed at this stage. A serious fire broke out at the Wainwright military base in Alberta, Canada on October 17, local time. As a result, 4 soldiers were killed and 39 others were injured. Currently, 27 people are still being treated at the hospital. 13 of them are in critical condition.
