Yes, fire is off to the races over Humboldt Road. The spot on the flats is across Humboldt Road just north of the Soldier Meadow Road. The run up the hill is burning up and over Ruffa Ridge, headed toward the NE shoulder of Butt Mtn.

They just closed Hwy. 36 from the junction with 89 down to where it meets 32, about 16 miles or so of road. Not a positive sign for the northern front.
