DENVER (KDVR) -- Loveland Police told residents near the 1200 block of Southeast 4th Street not to be alarmed by any loud noises Wednesday morning.

The Loveland Police Department said the loud noises are the result of training exercises being conducted by its SWAT team, and advised residents not to call 911.

"Sound travels well in Loveland—so do rumors at times—so we wanted to get ahead of both. Rest assured, this is only a scheduled training event, not the start of World War III," the agency said.

LPD said the same location will also be hosting a controlled burn overseen by the Loveland Fire and Rescue Authority this week. Residents are advised to "keep an eye out" for updates.
