⚠️ Jasper Complex Wildfire Update: Current as of 4:38 pm ⚠️ 🔺 Structural damage update We know that people are seeing images from Jasper and are anxious for more information about the extent of impacts to the town. Structural fire protection units are still fighting fires within the town and continue to fight fires moving from one building to another. We appreciate your patience as we work to make conditions in the town safe enough for a detailed assessment to be completed. Incident Command is able to confirm that all critical infrastructure in Jasper was successfully protected including the hospital, emergency services building, both elementary and junior/senior schools, activity centre and wastewater treatment plant. Although more time is needed to complete a detailed damage assessment, it is clear that some homes and businesses have been lost. The most significant structural damage is concentrated on the west side of town, southwest of Miette Avenue. Firefighting efforts have prevented significant damage to much of the infrastructure in the east end of town. Our priority remains protecting structures that have not yet been impacted by fire. The fire also damaged a number of bridges around the town and throughout the national park, including the Moberly Bridge and the Old Fort Point Bridge. Bridges on the Icefields Parkway will need to be assessed for structural
🔺 Wildfire update Yesterday, driven by winds with gusts upwards of 100 kilometers an hour, the north and south fire both spread towards the town of Jasper and have merged together. At this time we do not have an updated size. With today’s rain and cooler temperatures, fire activity is significantly subdued. However, it is important to note that the fire is still out of control and significant work remains before conditions are safe enough to allow for limited re-entry into the park. Crews are taking advantage of today’s conditions to make progress on containing the fire and the community, before conditions return to hot and dry. 🔺 Disaster response The Incident Management Team is growing and working in Unified Command with the Municipality of Jasper, now supported by Canada Task Force 2 (CAN-TF2). This is an All Hazards Disaster Response Team with diverse capabilities to support impacted communities across Canada responding to large-scale events, emergencies and disasters. Canada Task Force 2 is assisting the Municipality of Jasper and Parks Canada to coordinate the response to the wildfire, its impacts to the community, and support our eventual recovery. We know that the uncertainty makes this crisis even harder to bear. We will continue to provide information as soon as we are able to ensure that this information is accurate and not subject to change given the still dynamic situation. ℹ️ Another update will be provided today, July 25 before 10 pm.

I splurged and bought a face mask especially for wearing at the gym. Reviews for it look promising. I haven’t been wearing a mask at my gym because exertion while wearing a regular N95 or KN95 keeps triggering asthma attacks. I intentionally chose a gym with open bay doors in the summer and with very limited clientele to minimize my chances of contracting something airborne, but this mask will minimize it even more. Maybe it’ll make me feel safe enough to go on public transit or attend concerts again. And to top it off, it’s also going to save me from the smoke when Canada is inevitably on fire again. Yay.

Canada has experienced its worst wildfire season, burning more than 5% of its forest area. The unprecedented fires have been fueled by climate change, drought, and wind, affecting all 13 provinces and territories. The fires have caused evacuations, air quality alerts, international aid requests, and smoke reaching Europe. #CanadaWildfires #ClimateCrisis #SmokeHaze phys.org/news/2023-10-canada-l

The air has been bad all summer and it’s been making me unwell. I’m back to using my emergency puffer a few times a week when before all the air pollution, I used it once every few months. I’d hoped that October would herald cleaner air, but it’s just as bad as the summer, and the temperature is way too high for this time of year. It’s predicted to hit 28 degrees today. I have to be out all afternoon for a doctor’s appointment. I’ll be wearing a mask everywhere in this suffocating heat. Previously, this is the time of year for heavy frost and I’d be wearing wool sweaters. I want to go camping on Halloween weekend. Please let the air be clean by then. Please let it be cool. I want to breathe easily and have energy. #ClimateDiary #CanadaWildfires #ClimateCatastrophe #RespiratoryDisease
