Summary

A fire broke out on October 17, 2026, during a training exercise on an automatic grenade launcher range at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta. The fire started in a permanent danger zone where firefighters could not immediately enter due to ongoing hazards from live-fire exercises. High winds contributed to the fire's rapid spread across the training area. Four soldiers were killed and 39 injured in the incident. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by military police and a board of inquiry. Multiple reports note that firefighters were unable to directly combat the fire due to its location within the restricted danger area.
