MESA, Ariz. (AP) - A man is hospitalized with burns and 10 other residents are temporarily displaced because of an early morning fire at the assisted living unit of a Mesa retirement complex.

Mesa Fire Department spokeswoman Larissa Dvorak says the man has second- and third-degree burns on 50 percent of his body.

Dvorak says the other residents are displaced because of water damage from sprinklers that had already put out the fire when firefighters arrived Monday morning.



Cause of the fire isn’t immediately known.
