DENVER --
Residents of an assisted-living home were allowed to return to their rooms after an early-morning fire Monday that sent one resident to the hospital with smoke inhalation.
The fire broke out in a ground-floor room at the Golden Manor on West Colfax Avenue and Vrain Street at 2:44 a.m. Firefighters said it started in a mattress.
Residents were taken outside and put on an RTD bus until the fire was extinguished and the smoke was cleared from the building. They were then allowed to return to the building.
Residents of the first floor were placed in empty rooms on the third floor.
The origin of the fire remained under investigation.
