A Denver Fire Department hazardous materials team is investigating reports of a noxious white powder at a southwest hotel.
The fire department was called to the In Town Suites-Denver West, 2900 West Hampden Ave., at about 1 p.m., said Lt. Phil Champagne, a fire department spokesman.
Champagne said investigators have entered a room at the hotel but have not yet identified the substance.
Five people were exposed to the substance, Champagne said. Details on the extent of their exposure or illness were not available.
Firefighters have evacuated the third-floor on the east side of the building.
