Latest update on the CFB Wainwright incident. Deadly fire at a Canadian military base was caused by a live grenade exercise, the army says. Fire started on the automatic grenade launcher range (a permanent danger zone) during routine training. Firefighters could not enter the area to suppress it and were monitoring. Strong winds from a cold front (90-130 km/h, with a yellow wind warning) rapidly drove the flames into an area where the soldiers were training, overwhelming them. The fire left four casualties and 39 initially hospitalized. 27 remain in hospital, 13 still in critical condition. Three different investigations are underway: military police, a Canadian Armed Forces board of inquiry, and the chief medical examiner’s office. Military officials have emphasized support for the injured and their families. Please pray for those impacted by this horrible tragedy.
 
Reminds me that I have seen over the last few years comments that the Canadian military is now a full on joke.
