It’s been one week since an aggressive wildfire reached the town of Jasper and ripped through the community.
The wildfire is still out of control at an estimated 32,500 hectares in size, but things have calmed in the town since that chaotic and tragic Thursday night last week.

Less than 48 hours after the fire hit town, Parks Canada officials confirmed that 358 of the Jasper townsite’s 1,113 structures were destroyed.
In recent days, Jasper National Park has started to share photos of the destruction on its website.
