As we've learned more, it sounds like a grass fire spread in the blink of an eye because of sudden, powerful winds.
My heart is with the CAF members in both Edmonton and Calgary's Burn Units, the dozens still getting care, and their families across our country.
If these last 24 hours were to prove anything, we are stronger together. Thanks to support from Manitoba and Saskatchewan, we attended to the mass casualty event at CAF Wainwright as quickly as possible.
What troubles me is that, as Edmonton and Calgary hospitals went to Code Orange, they displaced others who also needed care. This is why hospitals aren't supposed to run at 100%, but Dani and Adriana can't seem to figure that out.
I'm thankful for all the HCWs in both cities who received these patients, and particularly at Peter Lougheed, where they've had two mass casualties in a week.
We don't give these folks enough gratitude, and neither does the UCP.

Quoting
My heart goes out to everyone involved in the explosion at CFB Wainwright tonight.
Hearing as many as 7 dead, 150 injured. STARS has sent 4 helicopters and AHS has sent three King Airs. I saw a Saskatchewan King Air pariticipating too on ADS-B.
I’ve heard conflicting stories, and this one hits pretty close to home in a lot of ways. Keeping everyone in my heart tonight.
