"Two major power lines, one feeding Pateros and one feeding Winthrop and Twisp, have burned, causing a widespread power outage in the county, said Scott Miller, the county's emergency manager.
Most of the Methow Valley from Carlton to Mazama was without power after utility poles burned. The Methow Valley, about 180 miles east of Seattle, is a popular area for hiking and fishing.
As of early Friday, fire officials estimated the fire to be about 167,000 acres in size. That is nearly 9 times the size it was on Thursday night when the fire was reported to be just 18,000 acres in size. Crews also expect two wildfires in the area to eventually combine into one."
