Jasper, Hinton told to prepare for fire-related power outages

Residents in Jasper and Hinton are being told to prepare for extended power outages due to wildfires burning in Yellowhead County. The municipality of Jasper said it does not know when or if power will be lost, and it's working with Alberta Wildfire to monitor the situation. Jasper and Hinton have been hosting fire evacuees from Yellowhead County, but Saturday Jasper urged those people to stock up on fuel and supplies and head toward Banff, Canmore and Calgary using Highway 93.
