PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Latest on fires in the Pacific Northwest (all times local): 3:20 p.m. A rapidly spreading fire in Oregon has knocked out power to some people because of a burned transmission line. The grass fire east of Portland took out a 115-kilovolt power line southeast of the city of The Dalles that's owned by the Bonneville Power Administration. BPA spokesman Kevin Wingert says crews have mostly restored service Wednesday. The power transmitted through the line is sold by BPA to several different utilities in the immediate area and it wasn't immediately clear how many customers were affected. The blaze in the rural farming area has forced dozens of households to evacuate and destroyed one home. It doesn't bode well for a Pacific Northwest fire season that's expected to be worse than normal, with drought conditions in many areas. ___ 2:15 p.m. Two homes near Ruch, Oregon, are being evacuated as a wildfire started by lightning spreads. Thirty-three more homeowners were told to be ready to go Wednesday due to the growing fire near the California border. The fire is burning in Jackson County, about 270 miles (434 kilometers) south of Portland, on a mix of private land and forest in the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. ___ 8:30 a.m. Oregon Gov.
