I compared the actual burn areas with my Topo software, then used waypoints
to mark the boundaries (approximate) of where the fire was supposed to have
burned.  Then I used a file from azgc.com with all active caches listed, and
copied them into the current file I was working on.  Those caches listed
were right in the middle of the burn zone.  And the fire *did* burn through
the rest area.  My officers were the ones who called and told us that it had
indeed burned through, as there was a checkpoint setup at the 87/188
junction.  The backburning jumped the highway (not the actual Willow fire)
and this is what burned through.
