Fire Marshal: 29 One Pot Meth Labs Found In Burned House

January 18, 2014

The Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office reported finding 29 one pot meth labs after a house fire at 4905 Birch Street. Officials believe may have been cause by one of the clandestine methamphetamine laboratories exploding.

Investigators noticed the smell of a meth lab upon arriving and upon entering the structure immediately recognized a fuel can, a one pot clandestine methamphetamine laboratory and other items consistent with a meth lab in the kitchen area.

Upon searching the entire residence, investigators located 29 one pot laboratories as well as other items used in the production of methamphetamines. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Rapid Response Unit responded and collected and disposed of all hazardous materials.

The investigation continues by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and the Florida State Fire Marshal’s Office.

    Kudos to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office! We wish he would be our sheriff and clean up Jefferson County, which is a meth-magnet. Our sheriff doesn’t seem to have what it takes to shut them down.
