Alberta wildfires: Jasper 1st responders evacuating as blazes ramp up
Fire activity worsened in Alberta’s Jasper National Park on Wednesday, July 24, 2024.
As the afternoon progressed, the sky at the park gates some 50-kilometres east of the Jasper townsite turned dark orange and ash began raining down.
Global News reporter Lisa MacGregor reports from the area, where late in the afternoon, Parks Canada announced due to significant fire activity and forecasted strong winds, first responders will start to be relocated to Hinton. Parks Canada said given the intensity of fire behaviour being observed, the decision has been made to limit the number of responders exposed to this risk.
Firefighting personnel, aircraft and a few incident command staff will remain in the town of Jasper and continue efforts to protect the town.
