Wildfires Cause Mass Evacuations Across North America

A series of intense wildfires have caused widespread devastation and evacuations across North America. In Jasper, Alberta, officials estimate that up to 50% of the town may have been destroyed, displacing 25,000 residents and tourists. The fires were exacerbated by pyrocumulonimbus storms, generating extreme weather conditions. Meanwhile, the Park Fire in California has become the state's largest wildfire this year, consuming over 164,000 acres, with an arrest made for arson. Over 400 wildfires are still burning in British Columbia, with recent cooler weather providing some relief. In Moab, Utah, a new brush fire has been reported, prompting warnings for residents to avoid the area.
