It was started by lightning and is burning in an unpopulated area.
I believe the policy is to let Mother Nature have her way in
this case.

There has been a vibrant debate on the best approach to
managing fires.  The danger of putting out fires ASAP even
when they don't endanger lives and/or property is that it
creates the conditions for massive, hard-to-fight, super fires
such as the ones that burned in Yellowstone in 1988.
