Holding the families of those lost at CFB Wainwright close today. Gratitude to every firefighter and first responder out there.
Todays hotspot detections show the fire moved at least 5 km east-southeast. It's an incomplete picture, but it's what we have for now.
Here's a 3D overview of the terrain around the Cooley Fire with the latest satellite hotspots and perimeter. It's mapped at 731 acres in and is putting out a lot of ground-level smoke. Ground level smoke runs down the coast from just west of Santa Rosa to about Bodega Bay. Santa Rosa, Bay Area and North Bay, heads up for poor air quality near the coast.

Here's a closer look at the winds around CFB Wainwright, Alberta over the next 8 hours, and they're strong. The first satellite hotspots were captured about 5 hours ago, and the next data should come in at least 6.5 hours from now. Satellite hotspots and the wind forecast are all on FireMap.

Terra MODIS just passed over Edmonton, Alberta. With heavy cloud cover we'll see whether any new hotspots for the CFB Wainwright fire are detected.
FireMap shows these heat sensing satellites in near real time and when the next pass is due.

Not trying to speculate on a tragedy like this. But with reports of an explosion at CFB Wainwright, it's worth noting that several early satellite hotspots were within about 1 km of the munitions storage area. We'll know more when officials release details.

The fire south of Wainwright, Alberta has crossed the CFB Wainwright base fence, according to the MD of Wainwright. FireMap hotspots suggest it has moved at least 6 km east in high winds. The active fire area is south of Township Road 44-0.
Thoughts with everyone affected, and respect to our armed forces and first responders.

BREAKING: Fatalities and injuries in major fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta, defense minister says.
Very strong winds across Alberta today. Here's a look at them around Red Deer, west of Wainwright, to show how strong they are.
With winds like this, the fire may have grown a lot by the next satellite hotspot capture in about 5.5 hours.
Thoughts are with everyone who has family or friends in the region. Respect to our armed forces and all the first responders.

Wildfire near Wainwright, Alberta. Preliminary hotspots are on FireMap now, with strong winds in the forecast. Data is thin until the next good satellite pass in about 8 hours, and FireMap will update as soon as it lands.

Canada: A wildfire has just broken out in Alberta on the Canadian Forces Base in Wainwright.
Both the Prime Minister and Premier have made statements saying a “serious and major incident occurred on the base, with a fast moving fire starting.” Medivac ships are flying into the area, and the official Prime Minister page is calling it a tragedy.
The local community is being evacuated, and a large firefighter response is underway. Something big must have happened to cause this fire to get such a reaction from both the Prime Minister and Premier, so quickly. Reports of major explosions.
