Jasper is on fire!

[greenthumb]

The town is right along the athabasca river. Unlimted water supply.

Just think how long it would take to get the permit for that.

Heard the hospital and school burnt down too, anyone have any pictures to confirm or deny?

These were apparently taken this morning.

at least some of the town survived it looks like. that's a good thing.

So far……or has the fire passed through the town now?

Here's another video. East end of town looks fine.

there is a satellite image floating around of the "path" the fire took, it's not as terrible as originally it was being made out to be, if the image is correct.

Still sucks. Close to half the town.
I'd imagine the smoke damage will be huge towards what's left standing.

I would assume you're right. with a fire like that I would guess pretty well the whole town would have pretty serious smoke damage. and anything close to the fire would have some heat damage.

 

[plio7]

also that's a pretty clear satellite image for all the smoke and ch!t I would think you would see......

Guessing that’s not a current sat photo just one marked up by someone in the know to show where the damage is

 

[mathrulz]

Supposedly that marked up photo is of where the crews were to focus their efforts last night, not what actually burnt.

From the videos I've seen on Facebook that map is pretty accurate to what's standing and what is burnt.

 

[NoBrakes!]

The mayors drive through video shows some hope for the north end of town, even the Atha B stands!

heard the same thing.....FFS just got the kids into skiing and back into skiing......

So how close are the fires to the Columbia Ice Fields? Wondering if Chatter Creek lodge would be in danger. Buddy said there is a lookout on their tenure that you can see the Icefields and the visitor centre from. He figured 5 miles as the crow flies but it would be west of the Icefields.

This looks a little promising ,Fawkin media always looking for the negitive!

Well i doubt Putin would ever extend a hand to helping fight this fire like he did in the past, Trudeau and Freeland burnt that bridge.

definitely some good news but they are still saying currently 30-50 structural loss. and they're not completely out of the woods yet.
