Alberta wildfires: Jasper evacuees await update as pictures, videos show extent of the devastation
Despite healthy rainfall on Thursday, several buildings in Jasper, Alta., are still burning after a wildfire became so intense that many first responders were forced to evacuate.
Pictures and videos being shared to social media showcase the damage to the community, as evacuated residents wait to hear more details about the destruction.
The fire reached the town near 7 p.m. (MT) Wednesday night, causing significant damage to some iconic sites in Jasper, as well as some residential and business properties.
"Almost every block has at least one house fully engulfed," said Mel Dressler, who fled Jasper on Wednesday evening.
