This timelapse video by David Murray, which he says was recorded from 11:40 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, shows the early growth of a wildfire burning west of Loveland.

A wildfire burning on Alexander Mountain, west of Loveland, had exploded to more than 1,820 acres as of Tuesday morning.

Mandatory and voluntary evacuations are in effect Tuesday. The latest information on the fire, including evacuation orders, can be found here.
