COLORADO — All evacuations remained in place Tuesday morning as the Alexander Mountain Fire continued burning west of Loveland. Crews were on the scene of the fire overnight Monday with air operations and “additional ground resources” expected to resume Tuesday morning, the Loveland County Sheriff’s Office said Monday. The United States Forest Service is expected to assume command of the fire control efforts Tuesday, according to Inciweb, an incident command website that tracks wildfires across the nation. The fire, which had grown to estimated 950 acres with no containment as of 7:45 p.m. Monday, was first reported in a 911 call received at 10:39 a.m., LCSO spokesperson David Moore said Monday.
