Boom goes the thunder and flash goes the lighting! ⚡ Here in @JasperNP a lightning detection system picks up this energy and records the exact location, intensity and time of the strike.
#FireTalkFriday Smoke is in the way! 🔥
Wildfire sizes can be difficult to estimate when smoke blocks the view. 💨 Refined estimates are done on the ground with handheld GPS for small fires and from the air with a helicopter GPS for large fires once the smoke clears. 🧭

Did you know fire can create its own weather? It can create wind patterns 🌬️ known as “fire whirls” which influence how fire travels.
#FireTalkFriday🔥 What's the difference between fire hazard and fire danger? Fire hazard describes the amount of fuel 🌲 on the landscape, while fire danger explains how:
• easily a fire could start
• difficult it would be to manage
• long a fire might burn
RAIN!! 🙌
The recent rain has given us a much-needed reprieve and lowered the fire danger to low.
Planning for emergencies should remain on the top of your mind:
🚘 fuel up
🗺️ know your location
📞 communicate
Stay informed 🔗 https://t.co/KKQtmvpTSx

1/2 #FireTalkFriday DYK Jasper National Park is always under a fire RESTRICTION? Random fires are illegal in the park. Fires in designated metal fire pits or boxes are permitted. Because of this, we are considered to be under a permanent fire restriction.
🔥 #FireTalkFriday & Let's be #FireSmart! 🤓
The Municipality of Jasper and Parks Canada continue to work together to reduce the risk of wildfire in forested areas around the community of Jasper. #TakingActions
