Out-of-control wildfires forced some 25,000 people to evacuate the picturesque tourist town of Jasper and its surroundings in Canada's Rocky Mountains early on Tuesday, as wildfires spread across the western provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, APA reports citing Reuters.

Jasper National Park, which attracts more than two million tourists annually, was evacuated overnight and early on Tuesday along with the town. Officials said there were up to 15,000 visitors in the park at that time.
