The lightning-sparked wildfire grew a ½ acre on Tuesday due to increased winds and low relative humidities.

A total of 28 firefighters are currently assigned to the Lost Horse Fire and a 20-person crew from northern Idaho is expected to arrive on Wednesday.

A pair of helicopters and a Skycrane have been dropping water on the fire.
