As with any community, certain events standout in history. Major fires, accidents or epidemics can often change the way we evolve and develop. They often cause us to re-evaluate how we build, respond and plan in the future. Jasper has had several large fires which are memorable for different reasons. For some it's because of the sheer size of the event, and others for the devastation they caused. Here is a few of our more memorable events:

Jasper Park Lodge  Outlook Cabin - Nov. 9th 2000

During this late night blaze, the then unoccupied Outlook Cabin was destroyed. This was a large dollar loss fire which has Historical significance due to the fact that the cabin was originally constructed in 1930 and had hosted many famous people. King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth stayed in this cabin in there 1939 tour of Canada.
