Wildfires have devastated the Canadian alpine resort town of Jasper, with over 170 blazes raging in Alberta. Thousands have been evacuated, and there has been significant loss, according to Jasper National Park.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced federal assistance for the fires, emphasizing the need to mobilize resources. With 59 fires classified as “out of control,” evacuation orders affect more than 17,500 people.
The wildfires have been pushed towards Jasper by strong winds, prompting urgent evacuations. The situation is exacerbated due to the large scale of the fires and their proximity to the community.
