Emergency services say 10 people have been injured, one seriously, at Canadian Forces Base Comox in what the military described as a "significant" explosion. In a statement to CBC, BCEHS said six patients were treated at the military base medical unit and three were taken to hospital in stable condition. My heart goes out to the personnel injured today in the gas explosion at 19 Wing Comox. Little said he was in his office across the street when the explosion happened and it was strong enough to cave in part of the office building's ceiling. Acting Wing Commander Lt.-Col. Mike Juilliet said the explosion happened in an accommodations building that was under renovation, and the building is now heavily damaged.
