High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Yacolt Burn was the worst forest fire in the history of Washington state. Fanned by the dry "Devil Wind" from eastern Washington, the fire began in the early hours of September 12, 1902 just north of Carson, Washington. It traveled 30 miles (48 km) in 36 hours and destroyed 238,920 acres (967 km²) of timber, about 12 billion board feet (28,000,000 m³), in Clark, Cowlitz and Skamania counties. The loss of timber alone was assessed at a 1902 value of US$30 million. The fire dropped one-half inch of ash in Portland, Oregon. The smoke was so thick that street lights glowed at noon in Seattle 160 miles (258 km) away. Yacolt, Washington was approached by the inferno close enough to blister paint on the town's 15 buildings, but the wind changed, causing the fire to veer north toward the Lewis River, where it burned itself out.
