Milford fire leads to pot arrests Posted Aug. 7, 2008 7:54 AM Milford (AP) -- Four Milford residents face drug charges after authorities discovered that a fire in their home involved burning marijuana plants. Leslie Defrancesco, 29, and Ethan Mayo, 33, face charges including operating a drug factory. James LeClair, 33, and 32-year-old and Michael Mikiens face possession charges. Firefighters say the fire began Wednesday when a grow light placed in a closet that had been converted into a growing room ignited a burlap bag. The smell of the smoke led authorities to the plants. Firefighters ventilated the house, which suffered minor damage. http://www.wtnh.com/Global/story.asp?s=8803363
goes to show you...having a clean, well kept and managed grow room should be a top priority. I'm just curious, they said that a bag caught on fire...was it like on top of the light or something???
Had to have been. I just missed it on the TV and that's all they have to say on the internet. I thought it was pretty funny, who would leave a burlap bag close enough to a searing hot HID light to catch it on fire. I woulda loved to be one of those firemen though
havent laid eyes on a burlap bag in many many years. im trying to figure put what they were doing with it....lol
