CKPG News: July 25, 2024- Wildfire hits Jasper

On tonight’s broadcast, the latest from the devastating fire that hit the Jasper town site last night. Plus, an in-depth look at the hard work put in by the volunteers at the evacuation reception center in Prince George. Then, there’s been lots of rain recently and more on the way. Could it help control the wildfire situation in the region?

Jasper is a unesco world heritage site, just like Maui…

Whatever the reason this is happening, it has nothing to do with how dry the forest is.

I know people want to donate, I get that, but they should know that less than 10% of what they donate goes to people in need, the rest go to 'business expenses' and salaries to workers, including six figure making executives. Salvation Army however, over 90% goes to the needy

Id like to help but obviously someone is starting said fires outside these towns.

How about a qualified government??? jT says we are no one, but must be from the last one the no one with current legislation

the good thing is if you live in Jasper you are rich because it is stupidly expensive there so anyone who burnt will be just fine financially.. i mean it still sucks and i am sure they will feel it but no one will be going hungry because of it
