Two hotels are known destroyed on the West side of town. South side fire is threatning the Jasper park Lodge.
People in the back country have to be airlifted out. I assume that is where my friend is, as he flies Helo for Parks Canada as a side hustle.
A place I used to live was on the east fringe of town. It might be at risk too. That would be beyond coincidence if multiple places I have lived have been destroyed by climate enhanced fires, in two different towns. It's a pattern.

I am starting to take this personally.
You'd think we'd have learned from Slave Lake...or Fort Mac...or Lytton...or any of the dozens of evacuations last year in Alberta, but it seems like Albertans refuse to learn from the past. Sigh...
National Parks are Federal responsibility. Smith should stay in her lane.
See! It was all Trudeau's fault!
