So both of my kids work at Glacierview Lodge, which is on the 93 south of Jasper. By chance the younger guy was home in Calgary for a couple days when this all broke out. My older boy drives buses and the glacier cats and they were all set to assist with the evacuations, which meant driving south to highway 1, west into BC and making a huge turn back to Jasper. Halfway there they were radioed that they weren't needed and they were to return. One day later they got evacuated themselves (he's with us in town and most of his coworkers are in Red Deer accomodations).
Now I see there's a fire south of Golden. This is crazy.
