Parks Canada and the Municipality of Jasper are coordinating efforts to implement a fire ban in Jasper National Park.
Effective July 12, 2024, a fire ban will be in place in Jasper National Park and the Jasper Municipality until further notice. This measure aims to prevent human-caused wildfires.
Currently, there are no active wildfires in Jasper National Park. However, hot and dry weather has increased the Fire Danger Rating to EXTREME. The low precipitation in spring has led to unseasonably dry conditions, further elevating the risk of wildfires.
