Published
Fueled by warm weather, high winds and extremely dry conditions, several out-of-control wildfires have grown near Entwistle and Evansburg, and on Saturday night an evacuation order was issued for both communities west of Edmonton in Parkland County and Yellowhead County.
Just before 3 a.m. Sunday, Yellowhead County expanded its evacuation alert to include the subdivision of Lobstick Resort.
Other rural areas were added to the mandatory evacuation list throughout the day Sunday.
More than 85 firefighters are battling the blazes on the ground, supplemented by aerial teams dropping water and fire retardant.
Canada’s Yellowhead Highway is closed in both directions around the fires, with lengthy detours in place.
