Fire forced the closure and evacuation of Jasper National Park this week, and the Jasper townsite itself was directly hit by flames on Wednesday. Parks Canada estimates about a third of the town\u2019s structures have been destroyed. Municipal officials released a preliminary map<\/a> today showing the damaged and destroyed buildings in the town. They stress that the information \u201cis based on the damage that is visible from the street. We have not been inside buildings or seen the backside of properties. There may be additional damage to homes and businesses that isn\u2019t visible from the street. Buildings marked as \u2018not damaged\u2019 on the map could also have internal damage caused by smoke and water. Consider this a preliminary description of properties affected in Jasper.\u201d CBC News coverage<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
