LAKEWOOD, Colo. — One person was taken to the hospital early Wednesday following a house fire at a Lakewood home, according to West Metro Fire Rescue (WMFR). 

The fire broke out in the living room of a home in the 1800 block of South Yank Place in the Green Mountain area, WMFR said. That's near the area of West Alameda Parkway and West Jewell Avenue.

Sky9 was over the area showing flames and smoke coming from the house.

WMFR said later Wednesday morning that that fire was started by smoking materials and that damage to the home was estimated at about $300,000.

Two people were home when the fire started and one of them was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to WMFR.
