A wildfire burning in Jasper National Park that is burning out of control reached the town of Jasper on Wednesday night burning down buildings in its path.
First responders were pulled from Jasper National Park and sent to Hinton, while some firefighters remained in town to combat spot fires and maintain sprinkler lines.
More to come.
