Gap in efforts to protect businesses from wildfires, expert says
The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge only received a 90-minute warning that a massive wildfire was racing through its surrounding forest on a summer evening in 2024, according to the hotel’s general manager.
The Fairmont team was able to smoothly evacuate everyone from the property in Jasper, Alta., and launch an emergency plan. “A small group of dedicated staff heroically remained behind, at considerable personal risk, to manually reset the generators and operate the sprinklers,” Garrett Turta recalls.
