Officials in Denver say 10 people were taken to hospitals and dozens were displaced after an explosion and transformer fire at an assisted living facility.

The Denver Fire Department is investigating an explosion at a senior living center that caused a fire Wednesday morning.

A southeast Denver assisted living facility that was rocked by an explosion Wednesday will remain closed for the foreseeable future, according to the Denver Fire Department.

A fire and explosion were reported at a Denver-area assisted home facility on Wednesday morning. According to a social media post from the Denver Fire Department, crews responded to the fire around 11:30 a.

A construction crew working near the main building hit a power line, causing an explosion that set a transformer on fire, fire officials said.

Firefighters found that a transformer had caught fire near the Eastern Star Masonic Retirement Campus. An explosion was also reported inside the building.
