One evacuation point for Louisville residents is the YMCA in Lafayette, Colo. The Flatirons Community Church will also be allowing people to rest at its Lafayette campus, though overnight stays will not be allowed.

The Louisville Police Department told residents to leave “quickly” and to travel east.

The fire, located northwest of Superior, is one of multiple wildfires that started on Thursday. Some of the fires were caused by downed powerlines, The Associated Press reported. A fire has also shut down a portion of U.S. Highway 36 near the area.
