About this project
The 2024 Jasper wildfire became one of Canada’s most devastating natural disasters, burning 39,000 hectares, destroying 358 structures, and forcing 25,000+ evacuations. With rapidly changing fire behaviour, emergency agencies relied heavily on timely geospatial intelligence (GeoINT) for situational awareness, damage assessment, and operational planning.

The challenge
Multiple lightning-ignited fires (north & south of Jasper) expanded rapidly under extreme wind and dry conditions.

• Fire progression shifted hourly; smoke and visibility limited aerial assessments.

• Infrastructure risk (hospital, water systems, rail line, highways) required continuous monitoring.

• Public agencies needed near-real-time detection, burn-scar mapping, and structural impact analysis.

Our contribution
Delivered several reports for damage assessment

Forested area damage assessment

Possible damage on properties, housing and infrastructure like the petrol station
