A fire that killed at least four soldiers and left 19 people in critical condition began with a grass fire that ignited in an Alberta military base’s training area where personnel were drilling, Canadian officials said. Maj Gen Wade Rutland, commander of the 1st Canadian Division, said that a grass fire ignited in a training area of the military base, which spread quickly due to strong winds. The cause of the fire was being investigated, he said.
