Fast-moving wildfire in the Canadian Rockies ravages the picturesque resort town of Jasper

Flames higher than treetops caused extensive damage, though no injuries were reported due to the earlier evacuation.

Smith, emotional about Jasper’s beauty and popularity, pledged government support for rebuilding, the Associated Press has reported.
