Every time people put up a fuss about evacuation orders, saying they are "too soon" or weren't really needed because the fire didn't wind up hitting town -- remember this. Thousand of lives likely saved by this decision. #bcwildfires#jasperfirewww.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Jasper Mayor Richard Ireland choked up Wednesday night, reflecting on how an evacuation order issued days ago may have saved thousands of lives, while an out-of-control wildfire burned his community. A wildfire had threatened the Alberta mountainside townsite for days from the south, but finally reached it in the evening. Ireland knew little more than the rest of the public Wednesday night about the damage toll, as flames consumed multiple buildings, including the Maligne Lodge and at least the grounds of the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. "This is simply our community's worst nightmare," Ireland told CBC News. "People are the heartbeat of every community. The people have been saved and that is significant. We can find a way to rebuild. We can find each other to hug again, because we all got out."

We understand that the decision to evacuate is disruptive and unsettling, but tomorrow, May 12, 2024 at Noon will be the last opportunity for residents to receive evacuation assistance as the Emergency Operations Centre is relocating south of the community and our ability to communicate with residents will be disrupted. Know that the decision to evacuate has not been made lightly and is based on careful assessment and expert advice, with the safety of residents being at the forefront. There will be two buses staged at Woodlands Inn, and transportation to points south will be provided from there. Residents who need transportation, or those with their own transportation who need assistance with fuel or other logi
