Multiple wildfires in Jasper National Park, Alberta, have led to a mandatory evacuation for all visitors and the town's 4,700 residents, who are fleeing west through smoky and hazardous conditions following a government alert. The Alberta government emphasized the urgency of the situation, instructing evacuees to leave by 3 a.m. local time Tuesday and to take essential items with them. Traffic has been severely congested, with reports of cars inching through thick smoke, creating concerns for those low on fuel. As the park officials work to alleviate gridlock and provide support, the fires have also restricted access to key roadways, making escape routes limited. Meanwhile, community reception centers and rest stops have been established to assist evacuees as the situation evolves. In recent weeks, Alberta has faced extreme heat contributing to the crisis, with an additional 7,500 residents under evacuation orders elsewhere in the province.
