JASPER, ALTA. -- International borders or not, fire crews are at the ready to help where they're needed. Wildfires burned in the western states of the U.S. including Oregon, Washington and California in the summer and through fall. Millions of acres of land were destroyed, towns were levelled, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced. And with Jasper National Park as a member of the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, Jasper specialists were sent to Oregon, U.S.A. in September to help firefighters already there, and were onsite from Sept. 17 to Oct. 2. The Jasper crew included Brett Haug, fire technician, Beau Michaud, task force leader, along with Clayton Praill, Sean Buckle, Adam McNutt, Coulter Schmitz and Christine Brown.
