We regret to pass on that a Canadian Firefighter was killed in the Line of Duty yesterday Saturday (Aug. 3) from a falling tree while fighting the out-of-control wildfire in Jasper National Park. The Firefighter, 24, from Calgary sustained serious injuries in the northeast of Jasper yesterday afternoon. He was rushed to hospital by STARS air ambulance and has been declared deceased. The man was an Alberta Wildland Fire employee and based out of Rocky Mountain House fire base. Our condolences to all those affected. Rest in Peace.
