Slave Lake virtual tour

The Journal got an exclusive tour of the devastation created by the Slave Lake wildfire. Videographer Ryan Jackson set up four cameras on top of a vehicle to capture a 360-degree view as he drove through the town.

Use our 360-degree video player to take the tour. Click on the play button to start or choose one of the intersections on the right side of the video window to go to that point in the tour. Each intersection corresponds with the points on the map below.

Clicking pause will freeze the video; clicking stop will send the video back to the beginning.

To look around, click and drag your mouse in the direction you want to go or use the arrow keys on your keyboard to pan left, right, up or down. On a PC, use the shift key to zoom in and the alt key to zoom out. On a Mac, use the shift key to zoom in and the command key to zoom out.

You can also view the video in full-screen mode by clicking on the full-screen button in the top left corner. To exit full-screen mode, hit escape or click on the full-screen button again.

Once you've checked out the video, be sure to visit our wildfires page for complete coverage.

The Edmonton Journal produced this "street view" panoramic at the request of the Emergency Operations Centre in Slave Lake as a service to Slave Lake residents.
