Narrative:
An A-26 Invader was defuelled in the Air Spray hangar in Red Deer when someone unplugged an extension cord and sparks ignited the fuel. A fire erupted, causing a number of planes in the hangar to be destroyed by the fire. These planes included the Electra C-FQYB as well as four B-26 Invaders (C-FOVC, C-GHCC, C-GWLU and GPUC) and a Rockwell 690 (C-GGOO).
