A fire Friday in a Los Feliz home has led to an investigation
into a possible marijuana-growing operation.
The blaze, in the 3900 block of West
Sunset Drive, began around 6 p.m. when about 100 small butane canisters
ignited, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
An attached garage became fully engulfed
in flames, which then spread to a bedroom of the three-story hillside home,
said department spokesman Erik Scott, who tweeted out details of the incident.
Two vehicles also burned.
Authorities reported no injuries.
At the scene, firefighters discovered
dozens of marijuana plants. News footage shot from overhead revealed what
appeared to be marijuana plants in an empty swimming pool, which had apparently
been covered by a tarp. The plants in the pool area were not burned.
It took more than 50 firefighters to
knock down the blaze and prevent it from spreading across the hillside
neighborhood.
Early reports from the scene talked of
hearing explosions from inside the residence.
