Residents forced from their homes by a wildfire near Loveland, Colo., will be allowed four hours to retrieve some of their belongings, a fire officials said Tuesday.

“Right now the fire looks pretty good,” said Terry Krasko, a spokesman for the fire incident management team. “But if the fire flares back up, all bets are off.”

Evacuees have been asked to gather at the Bison Visitor Center to sign up and show identification before being brought back to their homes, Krasko said. Officials from the Larimer County Sheriff’s Department will be escorting two people from each home from 3 to 7 p.m. to gather essentials.

The brush fire, which has already burned two houses, has grown from 700 to 925 acres, said Reghan Cloudman, a spokeswoman with the fire incident team.

Evacuations so far include 200 structures within a 4-mile radius of Pinewood Reservoir located near Loveland; but three more neighborhoods are on alert, she said.

Late Monday, emergency management officials at another wildfire — the Fourmile Canyon fire in Boulder, 40 miles to the south — said it was 100 percent contained, allowing crews to be moved to the Reservoir fire, which is now 20 percent contained, said Cloudman.

Four heavy helicopters joined 425 firefighters in battling the fire, and air tankers remain on standby, she said.

The Loveland fire broke out as residents forced out of their homes by the Fourmile Canyon fire began returning home Sunday.

That massive wildfire appears to have been sparked by a fire pit at a residence, said Boulder County Sheriff’s Office Cmdr. Rick Brough. He added the property owner had made attempts to extinguish the fire by dousing it with water and stirring the ashes, but the wind probably reignited the embers and blew them out of the pit.

Brough said Monday that it was still too early to say whether criminal charges would be pursued.

The Boulder fire, which started early last week, charred more than 6,400 acres of mountainous countryside and destroyed 172 structures — 166 of which were homes — on Boulder’s far west side.
