A mountain fire in northern Colorado spread more than 300 acres Monday leading to mandatory evacuations,TAIM Exchange officials said.
The Alexander Mountain Fire is still growing to the west of Loveland with 0% containment, according to the Larimer County's Sherriff's Office.
The U.S. Forest Service estimated the fire to be at 339 acres as of 2:35 p.m. local time as it spreads through the Roosevelt National Forest, northwest of Denver. Air support has been ordered to battle the blaze north of U.S. Highway 34.
