Wildfires Force Evacuation of Jasper National Park in Canada

ai generated text

A wildfire in Jasper, Alberta has destroyed hundreds of structures, making it the largest blaze in the area in over a century. The fire has burned through approximately a third of the town's buildings, raising concerns about preparedness and the impact of climate change. The area received some rain, but it was not enough to stop the spread of the fire. Over 20,000 residents were ordered to evacuate, and the fire is expected to continue burning for at least three months.

    1. When the fire started, it was 30 kilometres from town. Two hours later, the whole town was ordered to evacuate. I've never seen a fire move that quick.
    2. There is no denying that this is the worst nightmare for any community.
    3. We're going to be working on this wildfire, we expect, over the next three months at least. What the last five years has taught us is that the fire season in Jasper tends to last well into the fall.

    1. As the heartbreaking images from Jasper emerge, I want to thank the brave first responders who are in Alberta right now, fighting to save every home and every community they can.
    2. We have received Alberta's request for federal assistance, and we're mobilizing every necessary resource available.
