Carney speaks about deadly fire at CFB Wainwright

Families have been notified. Prime Minister Mark Carney confirms that next of kin have been informed after four service members died in the fire at CFB Wainwright in Alberta.

Speaking in Ottawa on October 18, Carney describes a fast-moving fire that swept through the base the previous afternoon. He calls what followed "one of the worst tragedies for the forces on Canadian soil in peacetime" and says dozens more are seriously wounded.

CBC News: The National's short excerpt drew about 94,000 views in its first ten hours, already well above the channel's usual full-day audience for a Short.

The clip focuses on Carney's confirmation of the casualties. The National's wider coverage includes Ian Hanomansing asking retired lieutenant-general Christopher Coates about the dangers and precautions involved in live military training, alongside an interview with Wainwright Mayor Bruce Pugh about the community's emergency response.
