Multiple wildfires in the Canadian Rockies' largest national park have prompted the evacuation of up to 25,000 visitors and residents. The fires have caused chaos during the area's peak tourist season, with people fleeing westward through darkness and thick smoke.
Residents described the situation as 'wall-to-wall traffic,' with some drivers facing hours of delays while covering just a few miles. Concerns were raised about individuals fleeing with low fuel levels in their vehicles.
