A wildfire burning near Horsetooth Reservoir west of Fort Collins prompted mandatory evacuations for homes east of the reservoir, according to Larimer County officials.

County officials ordered for people living west of Overland Trail and south of Elizabeth Street to Dixon Canyon Road at 5:08 p.m. People in the area should leave immediately, emergency officials said.

A voluntary evacuation warning is also active for people living between Overland Trail and Taft Hill Road, south of Vine Drive and north of Horsetooth Road. People in that area should gather essential items and prepare to evacuate, officials said.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
