A closure is in place at the junction of Lost Horse Road (FS 429) and Lick Creek Road (FS 5621) due to heavy equipment traffic associated with the North Fork Fire, as of August 21, 2026. Lick Creek Road remains open.

Firefighters continue making progress on fuel breaks north of Lost Horse Road and east of the fire, with two additional hand crew modules on order. The fire area is considered high-risk for firefighter insertion due to steep, rocky terrain and lack of evacuation routes by foot or vehicle.
