In late July 2024, multiple wildfires began burning across the Colorado Front Range.
The largest wildfire, the Alexander Mountain Fire, began on July 29, 2024, west of Loveland, Colorado. By the time it was fully contained less than three weeks later on August 17, 2024, the fire had burned 9,668 acres.
Two smaller fires began blazing in the Rocky Mountain foothills soon after the Alexander Mountain Fire’s ignition, with the Stone Canyon Fire starting on July 30, 2024 and the Quarry fire starting on July 31, 2024. The Stone Canyon Fire was fully contained a few days later on August 4, 2024, having burned 1,557 acres outside of Lyons, CO. The Quarry Fire was fully contained after a week on August 7, 2024, burning about 579 acres southwest of Denver.
