New photos from @JasperNP show just how close the fire is to the beloved townsite. The big blaze is 8km away, the smaller one 5km. 9 choppers, 260 people working on it. 245 people evac’d from backcountry. Rain in the forecast but might not be enough. #abfire#yeg#Jasperpic.twitter.com/XclPCmCZ4b
#BREAKING Bad news out of #Jasper. The fires are moving closer to town. Now 5km and 8km. There is some structure loss, but fire is not in town. Significant fire growth yesterday. They need rain now. No timeline for resident return. #abfire#yeg@CityNewsYEGpic.twitter.com/DiZnYnJsen
