Residents on North County Road 7 east to Interstate 25 and East County Road 82 south to East County Road 70 are no longer under evacuation orders, according to the Larimer Emergency Telephone Authority. Anyone who evacuated can go home, but they should be cautious because firefighters and equipment are still in the area.
The fire burning near the Buckeye exit on I-25 grew to 5 acres and was 90% contained as of 4:23 p.m., according to the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
