🔮   Massive wildfires devastated Jasper, forcing evacuations and damaging infrastructure

environment

In July 2024, wildfires engulfed Jasper National Park and its town, prompting the evacuation of approximately 25,000 residents and tourists. The fires rapidly spread, merging into a complex that burned 89,000 acres and damaged 30-50% of the town's structures. Reports from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and local officials highlighted the severe damage sustained. Although firefighter efforts safeguarded critical infrastructure, including schools and hospitals, air quality deteriorated dangerously. Experts linked the severity of the fire to climate change, which has intensified wildfire seasons in recent years, with the fires exacerbated by drought and high winds [9][2][6][8].
