The ‘Albany bulge’ has broken out to the north, bringing the fire closer to the suspected location of the off-range pasture (area labeled Middle Creek in the following map).
Yesterday’s fact sheet said a fire line has been established in the Middle Creek area between the fire and Centennial.
The fire has burned 176,000 acres since September 17 and is now 30% contained.
An email asking about the location of the ranch was never answered.
