Alberta Forestry and Parks Minister Todd Loewen speaks with Alberta Primetime host Michael Higgins about the provincial and federal governments’ response to the recent Jasper wildfires. Michael Higgins: What’s been most eye opening about the dynamics that have played out around the destructive Jasper wildfire and what’s been involved in taming that beast? Todd Loewen: It took a lot of lot of equipment, a lot of manpower, to get that fire to the state it’s at now, where the threat to the community is not imminent. It’s still considered out of control so there’s still work to be done on that fire. We do have a lot of men and equipment and personnel working on that. Just a lot going on. It’s a it’s a huge fire. There’s a lot of perimeter to that fire and there’s a lot of values at risk in the surrounding areas too that we want to make sure we protect.
