    AMAZING that the bears knew what to do to stay alive i just imagine them huddled together in the marsh while the fire passes, animals are absolutely AMAZING

    Just a heads up.... The mountains near Jasper, the ones that burned, were due for a fire 5 years ago when I was there.... Literally half the forest was dead trees from the "lodge pine beetle" as the locals call them.... It is sad that Jasper burnt up, but it is of no surprise, it was easy to see the inevitble ..... The fire needed to happen to kill off the beetles, and get rid of the dead trees, but Jasper did not have to go like that.... They knew it would happen..... I was thinking at the time, I would fix permenant roof sprinklers on the roofs, or something.....

    Cheers from Jasper National Park. Thank you for the coverage.

    Poor Forestry Management is to blame. I’m 5 hrs from Jasper, in 2016-2017 Pine Beetles devastated the spruce trees. The CDN Federal Government left the dead tees in place without any fire break. A lightning strike set the blaze a going. In 2017 the Feds Knew. In 2021 they promised to do something, 3 years since , nothing has been done! Now a 1/3 of the town is gone. So Sad!

  • They need to thin out the trees in these national parks.. years ago before these places were populated the fires would go through naturally and grow back stronger. There's just way too much density in these parks.. But very sad for Jasper
  • What are you talking about, most of the wildlife survive wildfire without problem. City folks 🤦‍♂️
  • @johnwang9914
    The wet spots and rivers must've been quite full of wildlife both prey and predator...
  • @derekpam7149
    Yes our national parks workers are amazing and our country is wonderful for caring for and keeping our animals wild. If they are not held they will find safety and our parks are for animals first so they can flee.

    People shouldn't live in fire zones.
  • Great job! Your videos are always so high quality and interesting! 💕😚
  • the one who set the fire should have to work and use his money to rebuild the community.
