Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said the full extent of the Jasper wildfire damage is unknown, but there has been been around '30 to 50 per cent of structural damage.' She called the images coming out of the town ‘horrific’ and broke down in tears during her Thursday news conference.

Officials with Parks Canada declined to comment on the scale of the destruction but have confirmed that many buildings in the historic townsite have been lost.
