Deadly fire at Canada military base moved a kilometre 'in 30 to 60 seconds'

The blaze that killed four men and injured dozens of others spread with alarming speed, accounts suggest.

What the coverage shows

All four outlets center the same core facts: four people were killed, dozens were injured, and the fire at the Alberta military base is described as fast-moving and deadly. The Guardian US and CBS News both foreground Mark Carney’s language about a peacetime tragedy, while the BBC alone emphasizes accounts that the blaze moved a kilometre in 30 to 60 seconds. ABC News is the only one to mention Parliament’s moment of silence, and CBS appears twice with slightly different headline wording.
