WIND-DRIVEN FLAMES TAKE TOLL, LOVELAND FIRE SAYS

Loveland and Berthoud firefighters battled a blaze that destroyed a shed and swept three acres of land.

"The outbuilding was fully involved in fire upon the arrival of the first engine company," Loveland Fire Authority said. "Crews initially focused on containing the wind-driven wildfire before attacking the outbuilding fire." Thursday's blaze occurred in the 5700-block of Norwood Avenue and no injuries were reported.
