News summary

Thousands of residents and tourists have been evacuated from Jasper National Park in Alberta due to multiple wildfires. Approximately 25,000 people were affected, including 5,000 residents, with heavy traffic and confusion marking the evacuation. The fires, exacerbated by extreme temperatures, have cut off key roads, forcing many to flee westward through smoke-filled routes. Evacuees faced significant challenges, including fuel shortages and unclear evacuation instructions. Officials are working to alleviate traffic and provide refuge, with British Columbia coordinating efforts to assist evacuees. Camping reservations in the park have been canceled through early August as a precaution.
