Very bad situation for any involved, including first responders and hospital staff.

Some on X who have been stationed there and involved in this type of exercise.
The gas wells are down a hole with a casing like a farm bored well.
A kill house is a structure used to simulate urban situation where the root out terrorists, snipers or MG's.
There were teams inside and others waiting turns outside.

Alberta oil and gas regulator monitoring Wainwright situation

Multiple oil and gas producers operate on CFB Wainwright property, but the Alberta Energy Regulator said Sunday it had not received any reports of incidents involving energy infrastructure.

The regulator posted on its website that it is communicating with operators in the area. Under law, energy companies must notify the AER immediately if an incident affects their assets or facilities.

“The AER continues to monitor the situation and has not been engaged by the lead agency or other provincial agencies in any response at this time,” it said.

Companies have produced oil and gas on Canadian Armed Forces bases in Alberta for decades. Production in the Wainwright area began in the 1920s, long before the base was established at the start of the Second World War.

Several natural gas wells are active on the grounds of the base, according to Alberta Geological Survey maps.

It’s also home to various natural gas pipelines, including a network owned by Sumerian Oil & Gas Inc., formerly Cleo Energy Corp., that runs through the grounds, along its northern and southern edge and southwest onto non-CFB land.

Sumerian issued a statement Sunday saying that all of its wells, pipelines and facilities – including roughly 300 well licences on the Wainwright training area – were placed under the care of the AER and Orphan Well Association on Oct. 5.

It said it “has not been informed by any authority that its wells or pipelines were involved in the incident.”


Blaze started out as smouldering grass fire

The blaze at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright began as a smouldering grass fire that was whipped into a “wall of flame” by high winds, early internal military assessments indicate.

The flames then overtook Canadian Armed Forces members who were on a firing range, according to the reports, which were obtained by The Globe and Mail.

It remains unclear what first ignited the grass fire.
