Yes, treat it like one. That smell usually means wiring or a connection is overheating inside the wall, which can quickly turn into a fire. Flip off the breaker for that area if it's safe, then get an emergency electrician out to your Driggs home right away.
Keep yourself, your kids, and your pets at least 30 feet away, because a downed line can still be live even when it isn't sparking. Call 911 and your utility provider immediately. Heavy snow and wind bring down lines across East Idaho every winter. Once the utility clears the scene, have an electrician inspect your meter and service connection for damage.
Take a peek outside first, because if the neighbors are dark too, your utility will handle the outage. When only your house is out, check the main breaker in your panel to see if anything is tripped. A breaker that won't stay on, a burning smell, or sparking is your cue to call an emergency electrician.
A licensed electrician is your go-to, though it's worth resetting tripped breakers and ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets first. GFCIs are the outlets with "test" and "reset" buttons, usually found in kitchens and bathrooms. If the power stays off or a breaker trips again, there's likely a panel issue or a loose connection behind the scenes.
Wind and heavy snow stress power lines, causing brief power dips that appear as flickering. If the flicker persists on calm days or occurs only in one room, loose wiring or an overloaded circuit may be the cause. That kind of flicker won't fix itself and tends to get worse with time.
