Here are some resources for getting the latest information the Loveland Colorado wildfire. I will update this page as the situation develops. Also check out the dashboard and resources sections on the tabs above. As of September 15th, the fire was 35 percent contained, but there were concerns about winds Wednesday night.

A meeting place for residents who have evacuated is at the Church of Loveland at 3835 S.W. 14th Street.  Residents needing shelter for large animals should call Loveland's police dispatcher at 970-667-2151. Officials said both small and large animals have been rescued from the fire zone. Members of the public wanting to get information on family members can call 211 or toll free on 1-866-485-0211.
