Accounts from someone on the firing line was it was a shoulder fired HE round that "Dolphined" after it left the tube and went astray.  NOT artillery.

This round hit a gas well which exploded and flattened the 3 Kill Houses that were full of troops which happened to be in close proximity of the well.  Approx 300 troops inside and many waiting outside them.  There is nothing but splinters left of them.

This also started a major fire that was fed by high winds that swept through the main Bivouac site housing the majority of troops in the field.

The amount of injured is staggering and the fatality count IS going to climb as they recover more victims. 

In my 20+ years in the Army, I have only heard of a dolphining round happening once from a shoulder fired rocket.  Not sure what would cause this other than possibly a faulty propellent.

The CFD Wainwright fire is quickly overwhelming burn units in Alberta which has a total of 16 burn beds 

8 are located at the Edmonton Firefighter Burn Treatment Centre at the University of Alberta Hospital. 
4 of the beds are for critical patients. 
In addition they have a General Systems Intensive Care Unit, which has 28 
beds and shares a small pool of burn-trained staff.

8 are located at the Calgary Firefighters Burn Treatment Centre at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary. 
In addition they also have General Systems Intensive Care Unit with 34 beds and shares a small pool of burned trained staff. 

3 years ago there was a thesis submitted
at the University of Calgary on Burn Mass Casualty Incident Planning in Alberta a case study by Danielle Holly Fuchko highlighting how Alberta could be a leader in rolling out a burn disaster response plan and highlights as of 2023 "no specific plans for how to respond to a BMCI in Alberta. This is particularly alarming because the catchment area for these burn units includes parts of British Columbia, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. This enormous area of responsibility has the potential to quickly overwhelm Alberta’s finite burn resources and emergency management organization." 

This research paper explicitly detailed why Alberta's generic "all-hazards" framework wouldn't hold up in a burn mass casualty incident. Today, as Edmonton care centers scramble to absorb the catastrophic influx from the #CFBWainwright disaster, we are witnessing the ad-hoc, real-time birth of a protocol that should have been formalized years ago. All of these medical and fire and military personnel responding to this disaster should be given highest praise when this is over for their monumental response to a disaster that did not have a protocol on how to respond.
