AUTHORITIES ORDERS AN EMERGENCY ALERT TO JASPER NATIONAL PARK IN CANADA FOR IMMEDIATE EVACUATION AS WILDFIRE HEADED TOWARDS THE COMMUNITY.

Canada’s Jasper National Park and the town of Jasper were ordered to evacuate Monday night as a wildfire headed toward the community.

The emergency alert said a wildfire was south of town and urged residents to evacuate by 3 a.m. local time (5 a.m. Eastern time) Tuesday.

“Everyone in Jasper and Jasper National Park must evacuate now,” the alert said, with instructions to use Highway 16 heading west toward British Columbia as other roads were closed. Jasper has about 4,500 residents, and the Alberta park is a popular tourist destination in the Canadian Rockies.
