Wildfire devastates Canadian town

A wildfire has caused an extensive damage in the Canadian town of Jasper, destroying dozens of buildings, as a newly released footage shows.

The Alberta town’s 5,000 residents, along with about 20,000 park visitors, fled both the town of Jasper and its national park on the night of July 22 as wildfires inched closer to the area. Two days later, wind-whipped flames overwhelmed crews and destroyed one-third of the town’s buildings.
