Apocalyptic scenes have emerged from Washington State where wildfires prompted the evacuation of thousands and 3,000 acres were scorched, killing at least one.

The Gray Fire started at about midday on Friday and a few hours later surged through 4.7 square miles of grass, timber and wheat pushed by 35 miles per hour winds, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources said.

Medical Lake and Four Lakes, about 15 miles southwest of Spokane, have a combined population of 5,000 - the local mayor warned residents to 'get out now!' as the blaze continued to threaten those communities.

A red-flag warning, meaning critical fire conditions were happening or soon to happen, is scheduled to come into effect at about 10am on Saturday for eastern Washington State and northern Idaho, the National Weather Service said.

Spokane County Sheriff's Office told khq that at least one person had died in connection to the Gray Fire but the circumstances remain unclear.
