Concrete cathedral burned down but trees still standing beside it, houses incinerated and trees and hydro poles still standing ...

[@scubasteve7022]

So the residents aren't allowed back but they can do a tour of the devastation? That doesn't make sense.

[@Stratchona]

For the residents affected there is nothing to return to there not even basic needs..

[@leokimvideo]

What's really sad is this didn't make the news in Australia...not a peep

[@lyndonlambert3321]

Let’s get the town back up and running… the longer folks are away the worse it is…. LETS GO!!!!!!

[@shelleyharty3281]

I noticed some buildings still standing. Trees not touched. Direct Lazer energy weapons attack.

[@shelleyharty3281]

​@bighawk3778 we're all smart who notice strange things or shall we say the awake ones to know the reality behind it.

[@kciwner]

That is a magical fire. And very selective. Who trained it not to burn the kindling all the way around that church?

[@harrywood8196]

So i see totally burned out cars, some with melted aluminum wheels sitting on the side of the road, but asphalt not melted ant centreline paint still intact. How is this possible? Even saw some badly twisted steel I beams. Sure looks like Lahaina all over again maybe?

[@rohitpatel-gm9fz]

Very sad news. The idea of expansion and living in forests is not sustainable. Cities should be planned smart and compact (like European cities)

[@70Naeblis]

Or maybe the government shouldn't have burned it down with D.E.W

[@Islandwaterjet]

Imagine being the fire chief and having to make that decision who gets their home saved and who must be forfeit.

[@hell0h0bbit]

Not up to him to decide, fire decides and he can only try to protect

[@charmpoon]

I was there last March. I am praying for Jasper. Its wildlife and residents. 🇨🇦

[@harrybaulz666]

Smokey the bear causes devastating fires by suppressing smaller fires

[@DavidsMusic-hs2qu]

So the government protected government buildings. Great 👍

[@pierinopegy9239]

Love this town where to send my donation...

[@jamesberube6805]

I thought our carbon tax was supposed to stop this, instead of Forrest management!

Funny how the stupid liberals don’t reply to your truth

[@wrongthinker350]

​@@paulbeatty4859this is poor Forest management, not a directed energy weapon attack. Half the trees in Jasper were dead from a pine beetle infestation. They don't

[@MarkHodder-sm4ml]

Around 1:55,.. how are those trees not burnt?!

[@bendazkt]

No such thing.

[@thelastdefenderofcamelot5623]

You could've saved your town have it not for the evacuation.

[@BrotherTemplar]

Could be worse

[@MrMrdave1966]

As one official said, they choose to live in the forests and choose to risk the chances of getting birned out. It was an expected and predicted outcome.

[@samezidrovibes]

Yes, there’s risk wherever one lives. We always hope for the best, but Mother Nature is a beast.

[@momofighter3211]

@@samezidrovibes Not much forest fires during Covid-19 lockdown I wonder why.

[@JakeFockstein-cn3hc]

All the more reason to live in a 15 minute city I guess.
