Seen through my bedroom window at 7:15 pm two evenings ago.
Yesterday, I was shocked to see the following warning, knowing the absolute devastation that our beautiful Waterton Lakes National Park suffered in the summer of 2017. Wildfire has now come to within 7 km of Waterton townsite! I haven't found any further update for today.
"PARKS CANADA HAS ISSUED AN EVACUATION ALERT FOR ALL AREAS IN WATERTON NATIONAL PARK DUE TO WILDFIRE:
Thursday August 23, 2018 - 10:45pm
Parks Canada has issued an Evacuation Alert for all areas in Waterton Lakes National Park.
A wildfire that started south of Waterton in the Boundary Creek valley is currently burning out of control. Because of the potential danger to life and health, Parks Canada has issued an Evacuation Alert for all of Waterton Lakes National Park.
An Evacuation Alert has been issued to prepare you to evacuate your premises or property should it be found necessary. Visitors and residents will be given as much advance notice as possible prior to evacuation; however you may receive limited notice due to changing conditions.
The wildfire in Waterton Lakes National Park approximately 5 km south of the townsite. It is located in the Boundary Creek Valley and approaching Upper Waterton Lake. Parks Canada staff are monitoring the fire.
