Devastating Jasper wildfire now listed as under control, Parks Canada says

The Jasper wildfire has been declared officially under control after nearly seven weeks, affecting 5,000 residents and 20,000 visitors who were evacuated in late July.
Landon Shepherd from Parks Canada stated the fire won't spread beyond its 278 km perimeter, though smoke may still be visible into early winter.
Despite the fire being under control, many campgrounds and trails remain closed, requiring safety checks before reopening due to fire-weakened trees.
