As the evacuation order continues for Jasper National Park, officials confirm that some structures in the park have been damaged by fire, but they can’t confirm what those structures are.
The structures are along the Icefield Parkway and could include power poles, campgrounds, day use areas, picnic sites or washrooms, officials said.
The fire has not breached the town and no structures in the town have suffered fire damage.
The fire to the south of Jasper is now five kilometres from the townsite.
On Monday, it was 12 kilometres from the town.
The fire north of the townsite is now eight kilometres from the town.
