It's not really known who or what started the Slave Lake fire. Conditions in that area where extremely dry, so it could've been some careless person who tossed out a cigarrette near the road or sparks from the train tracks that are found near the town. It could've also been from lightning.

None

One man did die during the fire but he wasn't a resident of Slave Lake. He was a helicopter pilot coming in from B.C to help with the fire. Unfortunately he crashed 30m off the shore of the lake as he headed towards the fire. What caused the crash in unknown.

The fire burned for around five days (roughly), but residents living in Slave Lake and the surrounding area (Mitsue, Wagnar/WideWater, Canyon Creek) were not allowed back into the town for a few weeks afterwards as electricity, clean drinking water, gas, and other important necessities needed to be turned back on/put into working order.
