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