Officials from Parks Canada and Jasper say “multiple structures, including a number of businesses and homes, in and around the town of Jasper, have been lost” to wildfire in Jasper National Park.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says early reports indicate a third and perhaps up to half of all buildings in the historic Rocky Mountain resort town of Jasper have been destroyed in a wildfire.
As the evacuation order continues for Jasper National Park, officials confirm that some structures in the park have been damaged by fire, but they can’t confirm what those structures are.
