Neighbor's House just burned to the ground - may have been a meth lab

[Antonia]

We live in a rural area and the mobile home of some neighbors down the road burned to the ground this morning.
I was lying in bed and heard a small boom sound and my dogs started to bark. Then I heard the fire siren.
It was fully engulfed and burned to the ground in a short time. Luckily no lives were lost. No one was home at the time.
They had a history of running a meth lab. Not sure if they were still doing that.
I can still smell the odor from the smoldering remains. Sort of afraid I could be inhaling chemicals from a meth lab. I wanted to do yard work today, but now I may wait until the smoke clears completely.

Scary stuff, but maybe now you will get better neighbors!

That is really scary especially how dangerous meth labs are. They have discovered tons of meth labs around our area in the last six months. One burned over the weekend.

The firefighters are very concerned as the chemicals are so dangerous.

I'm glad to hear no one was hurt!!

YIKES! I'm glad no one was injured in the explosion, though.

Antonia, you might want to go to charlotte.com and read the series about meth labs in rural NC and SC The Charlotte Observer did last week. It IS dangerous to inhale the fumes.
