Rutland said.“It is not normal fora fire to move a kilometre in 30 to 60 seconds.”\u003Cbr>The Department of National | Defence said the incident happened around 4 p.m. Mountain Time on Saturday at the base, located about 200 kilometres southeast of Edmonton.\u003Cbr>The base is used as a combat and live-fire training ground for troops about to go overseas. Officials said the ones who died were among those training for deployment to Latvia. It has not yet been determined whether a live-fire exercise was the cause of the fire.

A wildfire had been burning for hours on the base before it swiftly changed direction, officials said.\u003Cbr>Maj.-Gen.

The question asks whether Alberta should remain in Canada or the province should start the process to have a second, yesor-no vote on separating into its own country.  \nThe separatist and federalist camps  \nmade their final pitches in duelling rallies at the Alberta Legislature in Edmonton over the weekend, part of a lastminute push that also saw Prime Minister Mark Carney make several stops in the province late last week urging Albertans to vote to remain in Canada.  \nAt the federalist event on Sunday, leader Gil McGowan led the crowd in a moment of silence for victims and first responders at Alberta’s Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, where a fire had killed four service members the night before.  \nHe said fellow Canadians responded to the call for help when it came.  \n“That’s why we are stronger together in one Canadian federation,” Mr. McGowan said to cheers and applause.  \n REFERENDUM, A7  \nMediation still possible in diplomats’Havana Syndrome case, Ottawa says  \nROBERT FIFE OTTAWA  \nOttawa is open to media","cbCaiolZW1jRP8CN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiolZW1jRP8CN","pdf",8911760,32,"English","# CFB Wainwright Fire\n## Investigation and community aftermath\n# Alberta Referendum on Sovereignty\n## Final pitches and campaign context\n# Havana Syndrome Case\n## Mediation possibility and legal proceedings","[{\"question\":\"What caused the fire at CFB Wainwright in Alberta?\",\"answer\":\"The report says high winds rapidly pushed a smouldering grass fire toward live-fire training personnel.
