A partial burned area near where the Alexander Mountain Fire met the Cameron Peak Fire burn scar.
Wildfires usually burn with a mix of fire intensities and the Alexander Mountain Fire was no different. In this view from the Sylvan Dale Ranch you can see everthing from unburned trees to areas of high severity.
The Alexander Mountain Fire started on Monday, July 29, 2024, north of Highway 34 and west of Loveland, Colorado. The fire was human caused.
The primary fuel which carried this fire was heavy forest litter with small shrub and small tree understory. Fuels in the area had been dry and were very receptive to ignition at the time the fire started.
There is a Forest issued a closure for the area as well as fire restrictions.
