Our news says 18 to 20 thousand people have evacuated Jasper National Park.
@disk4mat my friend in edm said they are besieged by fire on all evacuation routes - thru bc, out thru hinton. bc is on fire all around them so they are driving thru fire no matter which way they go.
the fire is very close to jasper resort and is jumping the roads.
weather conditions are not helping. they need rain. & lots of it.
@disk4mat yeah, they've taken a few thousand in already. some have taken refuge on the bc side as well.
