Meth lab explosion sparks house fire in Bucks County: police

WARMINSTER TOWNSHIP, Pa. - A house in Warminster Township went up in flames last month, and police say a meth lab in the basement was the cause.

Crews began to fight an active fire inside the walls when they responded to a house on the 700 block of Lillian Lane on May 20.

Smoke was found in the basement bathroom, along with a carpet full of water.

The fire marshal later determined that someone tried to make methamphetamine utilizing a "one-pot" cooking method in the bathroom.
