03/22 ~ 17:03 Loveland Dispatched received multiple 911 calls of a structure fire in the vicinity of Spruce Mountain Drive near Storm Mountain. The exact address was unknown but parties reported seeing flames shooting from a home in the 1200 block. The first arriving apparatus was Canyon Tender 8 with Canyon Chief 1 on board at 17:34 hrs. Canyon Chief 1 established command announcing a fully involved 2 Story Structure and they would be in defensive operations. The road conditions to access this address were extreme (snow packed and icy), with the primary problem area being Storm Mountain access road from County Road 43. A number of resources were requested for the structure fire but only a few were able to access it. Loveland Engine 3, Squad 2, Engine 213, Tender 1, Canyon Rescue 88, and Estes Fire were not able to access the fire, even with tire chains, due to the icy roads leading up the mountain; however Loveland Tender 5 (4×4), Battalion 1, FIT 6, Glen Haven Engine 41 (6×6), and Canyon Engine 294 did make the fire. Approximately 10 personnel were actually on scene. 2,800 Gallons of water was initially put on the fire but a tanker shuttle was complicated due to the road conditions and it was decided to keep the remaining 2800 gallons of water available for exposure protection and to let the fire burn itself out. Loveland Fire resources were released at approximately 20:00 and Big Thompson Canyon resources stayed on the fire overnight. The fire was turned over to a Larimer County Sheriff Investigator around 10:00 am Saturday Morning. Nobody was home at the time when the fire broke out and no injuries reported on scene.
