The growth of the largest wildfire burning in Colorado currently has been halted, thanks to the diligent efforts of firefighters working the Alexander Mountain Fire. The fire, which has burned over 9,000 acres, is 74% contained as of Monday. It's burning west of Loveland, near Drake. As the firefighters have tackled the rough terrain, Garrett Mogel and the Larimer County Sheriff's Office worked to document their efforts.
“I have 21 years in wildland fire from kind of all over the place, and a new position that was created with Loveland fire just this year to start working on some mitigation activities and develop a wildfire program for Loveland Fire,' Nathe said. Nathe spent seven days working the Alexander Mountain Fire. Monday was the first day he had off since the fire started.
