JASPER, ALTA. Parks Canada is reminding the public to stay vigilant of wildfires following extended warm weather and lightning over the past two weeks. There are currently no active wildfires in Jasper National Park, but the fire danger is still sitting at high. Having some rainfall within the last week helped to lower the fire danger, but with another wave of extreme heat, the fire danger is expected to rise again. Parks Canada noted that the “undeniably eventful” lightning storm on July 1 had kept wildfire specialists busy. “Some wildfire crew members said that it was the most lightning strikes they ve ever seen,” Parks Canada stated in an update.
