加拿大CFB Wainwright基地爆炸引发大火 国防部长证实有人员死亡及重伤

当地时间10月17日下午约4时(山地时间,太平洋时间下午3时),加拿大阿尔伯塔省CFB Wainwright军事基地训练区发生严重事件并引发大火,火势在强风下蔓延至基地以外地区。加拿大国防部长David McGuinty当晚9时(山地时间)在渥太华举行的记者会上证实,事件已造成人员死亡及「重大」伤情,但未公布具体伤亡数字,称情况「非常活跃、非常微妙」,官方尚未公布事故原因。
据Global News援引多名加拿大军方消息人士报道,事发时基地正在进行实弹演习,弹药击中一条天然气管道(另有说法称击中气井)引发爆炸;据这些消息人士称,至少7人死亡、数十人受伤。上述事发经过与伤亡数字均未经加拿大官方证实,国防部长David McGuinty在记者会上也没有确认演习弹药与事故的关联。
大火在阵风约100公里的强风助长下越过基地围栏,蔓延至周边乡村地区。Wainwright市辖区当晚表示,多个辖区的消防力量正在合力扑救,以保护人员、财产与关键基础设施;当晚晚些时候,该市辖区称火势已被控制住(being held),消防人员将继续监测,事发地区未发布疏散令。
伤员救治方面,这一事件已被列为大规模伤亡事件。Edmonton市宣布启动「橙色代码」大规模伤员应急响应,Royal Alexandra Hospital急诊科医生Dr. Warren Thirsk对加拿大广播公司(CBC)表示,大批伤员正被送往Edmonton多家医院,Wainwright当地医疗设施一度不堪重负,他称这是「15到25年一遇的灾难」。
加拿大总理Mark Carney当晚在社交平台发文,证实CFB Wainwright发生「引发大火的严重事件」,表示联邦政府正与阿尔伯塔省政府及地方当局密切协作,他与省长Danielle Smith保持密切联系。Danielle Smith称这场火灾「重大而悲惨」,对许多军人造成影响;萨斯喀彻温省省长Scott Moe表示该省正向阿尔伯塔省派员驰援。
加拿大皇家骑警(RCMP)已介入调查。David McGuinty表示,军方、国防部与联邦机构正与省、市两级政府协调调动一切必要支援,并称「我记忆中近期没有发生过类似事件」,将在未来数小时至数日内公布更多信息。
CFB Wainwright位于Edmonton东南约210公里,是加拿大最繁忙的陆军训练基地之一,设有Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre与第3加拿大步兵师训练中心,驻军与文职人员众多,基地建于1940年。截至发稿,官方确认的伤亡总数与事故原因仍未公布,本站将继续跟进。
Explosion Sparks Major Fire at Canada's CFB Wainwright; Defence Minister Confirms Fatalities and Serious Injuries
At about 4 p.m. local time on October 17 (Mountain Time; 3 p.m. Pacific), a serious incident in a training area at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta sparked a major fire that spread beyond the base in strong winds. Canada's Minister of National Defence, David McGuinty, confirmed at a news conference in Ottawa at 9 p.m. MT that the incident had caused fatalities and "significant" injuries, but he did not release casualty figures, describing the situation as "very, very active and delicate." Officials have not announced a cause.
Global News, citing multiple Canadian Armed Forces sources, reported that a live-fire training exercise struck a gas line — or, in another account, a gas well — triggering an explosion, and that at least seven people were killed and dozens injured, according to those sources. Neither that account of the cause nor the casualty figures has been confirmed by Canadian officials, and McGuinty did not confirm any link between exercise ordnance and the incident.
Driven by wind gusts of about 100 km/h, the fire crossed the base perimeter into surrounding rural areas. The Municipal District of Wainwright said Saturday evening that firefighters from multiple jurisdictions were working to protect people, property and critical infrastructure; later that night the district said the fire was "being held," with crews continuing to monitor, and no evacuation orders were issued.
The incident was treated as a mass-casualty event. A code orange — the emergency protocol for a large influx of patients — was declared in Edmonton, and Dr. Warren Thirsk, an emergency physician at the Royal Alexandra Hospital, told CBC News that large numbers of patients were being transported to hospitals across Edmonton, that medical facilities around Wainwright were overwhelmed, and that it was a "one in every 15 to 25-year disaster."
Prime Minister Mark Carney posted on social media that a "serious incident creating a major fire" had occurred at CFB Wainwright, saying the federal government was working closely with the Government of Alberta and local authorities and that he and Premier Danielle Smith were in close contact. Smith called the fire "significant and tragic," affecting many military personnel, and Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said his province was sending assistance to Alberta.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is involved in the investigation. McGuinty said the Canadian Armed Forces, the Department of National Defence and other federal agencies were coordinating with provincial and municipal authorities to mobilize all necessary support, adding, "I cannot recall an incident like this in recent memory," and that more information would be provided in the coming hours and days.
CFB Wainwright, about 210 kilometres southeast of Edmonton, is one of Canada's busiest army training bases, home to the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre and the 3rd Canadian Division Training Centre; it was founded in 1940. As of publication, officials had not released a confirmed casualty total or a cause. This newsroom will continue to follow the story.
