A major fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta killed four service members and injured 39, with at least 19 in critical condition. The blaze, which started during live-fire training on Saturday, was fueled by high winds and overwhelmed local hospitals. Prime Minister Mark Carney called it a peacetime tragedy, while officials ruled out terrorism. The cause remains under investigation, with conflicting reports on whether it involved a gas line or a grass fire.
