Fueled by warm weather, winds and extremely dry conditions, several wildfires have grown near Entwistle and Evansburg, and on Saturday night an evacuation order was issued for the communities west of Edmonton in Parkland County and Yellowhead County.

One of the fires (WCU001) was just south of Highway 16, between Range Road 70 and 71. Due to high winds, the fire was quickly heading towards Entwistle and Evansburg.

Alberta Wildfire said it was detected Saturday and is located approximately nine kilometres southeast of Evansburg. The province said it was helping Parkland County fight the flames with one airtanker and four firefighters are responding to this wildfire.

As of 9 p.m., the estimated size was 200 hectares. Late Saturday night, the flames grew and were visible from one of the evacaution centres, some 30 kilometres away in Wildwood.

2 New Jersey schools leave amateur performance of 'School of Rock' due to alleged inappropriate language
HADDON, N.J. - An amateur performance of School of Rock sparked some controversy at two New Jersey elementary schools after teachers made their students leave the theater due to coarse language. Over 150 fifth grade and third grade students, and accompanying staff and chaperons, from Hartford Upper Elementary School and Kellman Brown Academy left a midday performance at the Ritz Theater in Haddon Township.Kelly Hill chaperoned the field trip for her fifth grade daughter, and said while there was some language that may have been inappropriate, she was caught off-guard by the teachers decision. "I really didn't understand what was going on, I just saw one of the teachers get the kids in the front row and have them all stand up and walk out," Hill said. MORE LOCAL HEADLINES"It was enough where I thought to myself like ‘the school is going to get some phone calls later' but I didn't think we would leave because of it."The Ritz Theater Company claims it spoke with both schools before the Wednesday performance and explained that the show contains occasional strong language. The theater posted about the incident on their Facebook page and called the walk-out "a disservice to the cast and crew who all took the time to perform the show."Hill returned to the Ritz Theater with her daughter on Friday night to watch the performance in-full.
