A fire at a Canadian military base has killed four people and injured 39 others, with 19 in critical condition. The blaze, which broke out at a training facility in British Columbia, spread rapidly through the structure. Emergency services were called to the scene early Monday morning.
Firefighters battled the flames for several hours before the fire was fully extinguished. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether the incident was accidental or intentional.
This is the second major fire at a Canadian military installation this year. A similar incident occurred at a base in Alberta earlier this month, though no casualties were reported. Officials have warned of the need for improved safety measures and increased oversight of military facilities. The injured are being treated at local hospitals, with some requiring prolonged care. The military has announced it will conduct a full review of the incident.
