Fire in the Upper Hoback

There is a fire in the Upper Hoback country near Bondurant Wyoming.
We are 80 air miles as the crow flies from it, yet when it blew up yesterday we could see the smoke plume and convection tower from the hot spot.
No telling how many feet tall it was.
Now about 30 minutes ago multiple smoke plumes are visible, covering a wide swath.
This fire must really be making headway.
A friend had to evacuate his hunters, but leave his camp and now the area is closed off and he can't get in to retrieve it. From the looks of the smoke plume, I would say it is likely toast and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have to evacuate Bondurant, they did evacuate some ranches and homes on the Upper Hoback yesterday afternoon.
Waiting on a inciweb update.
This fire is laying to waste some very very nice Big Buck country around Hoback peak.

Was it set by lightening you think or a crappy camp fire?
They are unsure at this point, but Saturday the 15th was the opener for deer in that area and a significant amount of people hunt there.
So could be a warming fire that got left.
There we no clouds or systems in the area.
