Mandatory evacuations are currently in place for Sedona Hills, northeast of Carter Lake, due to a wildfire.
The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office initially reported the fire just after 3:00 p.m. Officials said people should leave the area immediately.
The National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) reports the fire has burned about 12.2 acres.
The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control posted on Facebook saying the "DFPC Multi-Mission Aircraft, Type 1 helicopter and other aviation" are heading to the area to assist with the situation.
Berthoud Fire Protection District reported the aircraft are helping, and crews are now working to create containment lines. However, fire crews say the winds and the slope where the fire is burning have complicated the situation.
According to NOCO Alert, the Red Cross is opening an evacuation center at Grace Place Church, located at 375 Meadow Lark Dr. in Berthoud.
Those with pets can bring them to the NOCO Humane Larimer Campus, located at 501 E 71st St. in Loveland, for temporary housing.
This is a developing situation. Details will be updated as new information is provided.
