Online Edition
A sheriff in Washington state says a massive wildfire has burned 300 homes, double the number previously estimated.
Okanogan County Sheriff Frank Rogers said Friday the Carlton Complex of fires has consumed about 300 homes this month. His office previously placed the number at 150, but officials hadn't been able to reach some burned areas at the time.
Rogers says the blackened area looks like a moonscape, and he's seen hundreds of dead livestock.
The fire was started by lightning and has burned about 400 square miles (1,035 square kilometers) northeast of Seattle.
Meanwhile in eastern Oregon, the nation's largest wildfire, the Buzzard Complex, was 95 percent contained, the Northwest Interagency Coordination Center said. The fires have burned 618 square miles of rangeland.
