Overnight on Monday, dangerous wildfires in Alberta province, Canada, led to the evacuation of Jasper town and Jasper National Park. Evacuation orders were issued late at night for everyone in the area. By Tuesday evening, the evacuation of the town was successfully completed.
Jasper National Park, a popular destination that attracted nearly 2.5 million visitors last year, had to be closed due to at least two fires burning within its boundaries. The fires, one covering 6,750 hectares and the other 270 hectares, posed a significant threat to the region.
