ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. — Firefighters were able to successfully rescue 14 residents, including two who sustained injuries, from a 2-alarm fire at an Arapahoe County apartment complex Tuesday morning.
Cunningham Fire Protection District officials confirmed that multiple 911 calls reporting the fire were placed from Parliament Apartments at 2450 South Quebec Street, around 3:30 a.m. When crews arrived on scene, a second alarm was called because of the heavy smoke billowing out of the apartment complex.
The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s office was also called in to assist with evacuations on the first floors, while firefighters worked to evacuated stranded residents on the second and third floors. The two emergency units performed 14 evacuations and one dog rescue in all.
One of the two injured parties was unconscious on the third floor when discovered by firefighters, and was expected to be transported to the nearby University of Colorado Burn Center in unknown condition. The second victim was treated on the scene for smoke inhalation.
Everyone else who was displaced by the fire was safe and in the apartment complex’s clubhouse as of 5 a.m.
Crews were still investigating the cause of the fire later Tuesday morning, but called its point of origin “unusual.”

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - First an explosion, then a big fire sends two people to the hospital and their next stop could be jail.
The Narcotics Task Force is now investigating the incident. Authorities believe the fire was sparked when the pair tried to extract THC from marijuana plants.
This process is becoming very popular in San Diego. It involves an ingredient called ear wax, honey oil or hash oil. It starts as marijuana, which ranges from about seven to 25 percent THC, which is the ingredient that makes user high. But when you extract hash oil from marijuana plants, the purity skyrockets to 75 even 85 percent.
The process, however, comes with risks which is why fire fighters were called to a Golden Hill housing complex Sunday afternoon.
"I was sitting on my couch and heard a big boom and saw flames, heard my neighbor yelling I need help," said neighbor, Mike Vanetten.
Authorities say that explosion neighbors heard was due to butane, which is used to extract hash oil from marijuana plants.
"You have all those butane fumes in a small room and the butane sinks to the ground and it's heavier than air and sinks. So all those fumes build up and if you have something as simple as static electricity, any kind of open flame, a candle, cigarette, that'll set off an explosion," said DEA spokesperson, Amy Roderick.
Neighbors say the man who lives in the home suffered major injuries.
"Burnt face, burnt arms, burnt legs and was in shock. Next thing I knew fire fighters showed up," said neighbor Matthew Zavala.
The damage was contained to the kitchen area and is estimated at $30,000.
[The fireball from a butane explosion is over 3000 degree's F, that will melt steel. GW] Another disaster and 3rd degree burns because of indoor blasting, really stupid on the part of these people, now they get to look like Frankinstein.

WILLITS, California — A Northern California man was seriously injured and his home damaged in an explosion and fire police suspect were caused during an attempt to make "concentrated cannabis."
The Santa Rosa Press Democrat (http://************/mjfr8dk) reports that 38-year-old David Madrigal of Willits was flown to a burn center for treatment.
Fire officials say the explosion at Madrigal's house over the weekend was the fifth such incident alleging involving illegal drug labs exploding and injuring people in the region this year.
Flammable solvents such as butane are used to manufacturer concentrated cannabis, which concentrates the active ingredient in marijuana.
Information from: The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, http://www.pressdemocrat.com
From the comments: "It seems like a relatively recent trend of people who have figured out how to turn a plant into an explosive."

DENVER - Police in Colorado say there is little they can do about an increase in the number of accidental explosions caused by people trying to turn recreational marijuana into hash oil.
In Colorado, with the passage of Amendment 64, manufacturing hash oil is totally legal.
However, the process is not always safe. Hash oil, or honey oil as it's often referred to, can blow up in your face.
It happened in Longmont this past December and in Aurora in January.
"There's probably been 20 [hash oil explosions] in the state in the last year or two," said Commander Jerry Peters with the North Metro Drug Task Force.
He said the allure of extracting hash from marijuana plants is typically the high.
"It can be about 70 to 90 percent pure marijuana, or THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana," said Peters.
Peters said the problem with enforcing the law is that if the oil is produced on someone's property and nobody else is in danger, it is not a crime.
Explosions often result in no criminal charges, despite any injuries involved.
That was the case in January, when hash oil being produced in a Thornton home ignited, killing a dog and leaving the homeowner with severe burns.
"If you are in your own house and you blow up your own house, and you put no one else in danger, it's legal," said Peters.
Hash is extracted from the leafy part of the marijuana plant, mashed in with a gas such as butane, and then put through a strainer. The gas is then burned or frozen off. But that's when things can go awry.
"These kinds of fires -- it's just mind-boggling on how dangerous this is to our community and yet, we've allowed it," said Peters.
If you are manufacturing hash in your home and there is someone else living there, you can be charged with endangering others.
Officials with the North Metro Drug Task Force said Colorado is in uncharted territory in terms of how to regulate or even monitor the issue.

Alleged hash oil lab blows up, burns on Holly Street
By Willits News staff
UPDATED: * 03/05/2014 12:00:19 AM PST
An alleged honey oil lab blew up and burned Saturday evening behind a residence at the corner of Holly Street and Poplar Avenue. One man was severely burned and was airlifted to an out of county burn center. No information is available about his condition.
The unlicensed outbuilding was fully ablaze when emergency personnel arrived and it was beginning to spread into the adjacent built in garage.
Just after 7:25 p.m. on Saturday, March 1, Willits Police Department and Little Lake Fire Protection District responded to the explosion and structure fire.
Little Lake responded with three engines and requested one engine from Brooktrails Fire Department. Willits Police initiated traffic control in the area while the firefighters combated the fire. Mendocino County Sheriff's Deputies and California Highway Patrol also responded and assisted with traffic control and scene management.
The fire completely engulfed an illegally constructed add-on building that was attached to the garage. Because the structure, just 10 feet by 10 feet, was not built to building code requirements the fire quickly spread into the attic of the home leading to about 36 square feet of the roof being removed and an intensive mop up. The home suffered significant smoke damage and some structural damage, noted Little Lake Fire Protection District Fire Chief Carl Magann.
Once the fire had been completely extinguished, Little Lake Fire personnel noted items consistent with a concentrated cannabis manufacturing lab. The fire was approached cautiously due to numerous exploding butane gas cylinders. Shrapnel from these exploding cylinders could have seriously injured firefighters, said Chief Magann. The firefighters used the hose line patterns and systematically cooled the gas cylinders to safely extinguish the fire.
Little Lake Fire Protection District and Willits Police set up a unified command while Willits Police requested the assistance of the Mendocino Major Crimes Task Force. In a joint investigation with Chief Magann of Little Lake Fire Protection District and agents from MMCTF, the Willits Police determined there was evidence of a clandestine lab at the residence.
Magann stated his biggest concern regarding this incident is for the children who were living at the residence.
While on the scene, Willits Police received a call from staff at Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital reporting a burn victim in the emergency room. Willits police responded to the hospital where they contacted 38-year-old David Madrigal who is a resident of the Holly Street address where the explosion/fire occurred. Due to his severe injuries Madrigal was flown by Life Flight to a burn center. Willits Police is now looking for a second person that may be involved, said Magann.
The investigation continues. There are reports that children may have been present in the residence when the fire began. If you have any information please call the Willits Police Department at 459-6122.
The specific hash oil extraction method in use at the residence is considered an extreme fire hazard even by hash oil proponents.
Hash oil labs are a growing fire hazard within communities across the nation according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which issued an advisory on Feb. 7 reporting that explosions in residences and hotels from this process were being reported around the country. These explosions have blown out windows and doors and caused severe burns. The initial explosions can lead to secondary fires and explosions in adjacent rooms or buildings. Butane is odorless, colorless and is heavier than air. The fumes can travel along the floor and ignite when it reaches a spark.
FEMA is urging first responders to become trained in how to respond to these incidents.
There have been several hash-oil labs raided in northern Mendocino County during the past months, including one in Laytonville following an explosion.
[At the rate this is occurring there will soon be no more idiots blowing themselves up in the kitchens, the fireball from a butane explosion is over 3000 degree's enough to melt your face and eyes, is it really worth 3rd degree burns and reconstructive surgery for months and months, then a jail sentence.]

Two arrested, suspected in making 'honey oil,' causing Palm Springs home explosion
Aaron James Ellwanger and Charles Douglas Wunderlich are accused of igniting homes
PALM SPRINGS — Attempts to make concentrated cannabis or “honey oil” caused two explosions this week and led to the arrest of two men, police said Thursday.
Aaron James Ellwanger, 48, and Charles Douglas Wunderlich, 29, are accused of using flammable gas and unspecified heat sources to extract THC from marijuana, according to Palm Springs police. The gas ignited and set the homes on fire.
Palm Springs police Sgt. Harvey Reed said these are the only known incidents of their kind in Palm Springs, but they’ve been reported in cities across the country over the past few years.
At 5:10 p.m. Monday, investigators received reports of an explosion coming from a home in the 3900 block of East Sunny Dunes Road and they found smoke coming from a garage. Firefighters put out of the fire.
Ellwanger was outside the home and was taken to the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning on suspicion of manufacturing drugs and starting a fire, according to police.
At 6:45 p.m. Monday, an explosion was reported at a home in the 1500 block of Wawona Road.
The occupants extinguished a fire and one of them, Wunderlich, ran away before officers arrived, according to police.
He was found about 4 p.m. Thursday in the 1500 block of North Palm Canyon Drive and arrested on suspicion of manufacturing a controlled substance, unlawfully causing a fire of a structure and possession of stolen property.
The suspects are not affiliated with each other and the incidents are unrelated, police said.
A similar incident was reported early Saturday after a Moreno Valley man suffered burns to more than 40 percent of his body after his mobile home exploded.
Riverside County sheriff’s deputies were notified at 12:55 a.m. that Chad Bishop, 40, was being treated at a hospital.
Evidence showed Bishop, who had a medical marijuana recommendation, tried to make honey oil, investigators said.
The severe nature of Bishop’s burns prevented sheriff’s deputies from arresting him.
Earlier this year, on Jan. 9, Jules Ninomiya Benoit, 28, was arrested on similar charges at his Moreno Valley home in the 11-900 block of Sugar Creek Court.
Investigators found equipment for a honey lab, and there was no explosion.
Riverside County Sheriff’s Deputy Armando Munoz, who said it’s a felony to possess honey oil, added “it was very popular up north, but made its way here.”
According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, adding just one or two drops to a cigarette can have similar effects to a “joint” of marijuana.
Sarah Pullen, a spokeswoman for the DEA’s Los Angeles office, wrote in an email to The Desert Sun that honey oil “has been around for quite awhile” and its popularity has been fueled by the internet.
“Hash oil, or honey oil, has been seen consistently throughout Southern California,” she said.
From Jan. 1 through Dec. 9 last year, agents in San Diego found about 30 operations, and 12 to 15 of them resulted in explosions or fires.
Pullen said it’s illegal under federal law to manufacture or possess honey oil, which has a street value of $20 to $50 per gram.
Police ask anyone with information to call Detective Marcus Litch at (760) 323-8105.

A man is facing felony drug charges following an explosion that rocked his*home early Friday morning.
Reno police say fire crews were called to an apartment on Sinclair St. in Reno, just after 2:00 a.m. on the report of an explosion.
They say the lone resident, 26-year-old Jason Fisher, had been making marijuana hash oil inside the apartment.
Police say the process used to create the oil uses a flammable and volatile substance that ignited the blast, which was powerful enough to separate the walls of the apartment's kitchen.
RPD quickly obtained a search warrant and found felony amounts of marijuana inside.
Fisher faces felony drug possession and trafficking charges.
[First he goes to the hospital to have his face scraped of the char and then he goes to prison and gets to play dominos with OJ., another one blasting in the kitchen]

Police said the couple had filled a 30-gallon tub with cannabis and soaked it in butane in an effort to make earwax, a highly potent version of marijuana. The butane ignited when one lit a cigarette.
Gambale and Gabriella were rushed to Staten Island University Hospital, where they remain in serious condition, said Luba Poukhova, Gabriella’s mother.
[They have a bathtub full of weed and butane, they've worked hard so they take a break and light a ciggy, can you believe this crap? They were good looking kids before they lit that cigarette, they would have been better off dying in the explosion].

Yet it's still on the market...
How many people have died in there sleep from an unvented heat source?

When Ive made honey oil I have a hotplate/griddle I use as a heat source. do it with the garage door slightly open for some privacy and I plan to make more in the future.
theres never anything lit of any kind, I don't involve/invite other when I do make oil as to minimize the possibility of accidents so is this a good course of action to follow through with when making honey oil?
I used denatured alcohol for one run and then butane for another, the only thing ive ever had to deal with was smell/odor of the process

Hazmat called after fire, explosion injures residents of North Park apartment building - San Diego 6
By City News Service
Created: Sun, 09 Mar 2014 06:45:00 PST
SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A hash oil-making operation caused a fire that damaged two apartment Sunday in the North Park section of San Diego, but no one was seriously hurt, authorities said. The fire was reported at 6:18 p.m. in a single unit of a three-story apartment complex at 3030 Suncrest Drive, said a San Diego Fire Department dispatcher. The first arriving crews encountered smoke and flames coming from the apartment of origin, the dispatcher said, adding that the fire was knocked down at 6:35 p.m. Three people were treated at the scene, but none were taken to a hospital, she said. A second apartment in the building was damaged as a result of the fire, the dispatcher said. At least two people were taken into custody in connection with a hash oil making operation that apparently caused the blaze, and an investigation by the fire department's Metro Arson Strike Team was ongoing. Hash oil is a concentrated liquid derived from marijuana. It is sometimes extracted with highly flammable, potentially explosive propane or butane gas that has been blamed for a number of residential fires and burn injuries in recent years.

|NBC 7's Matt Rascon reports on an explosion and fire in a North Park apartment complex that firefighters say was caused by a drug operation. Ed. Note: The initial location was reported as University Heights.
Manufacturing hash oil caused an explosion inside a San Diego apartment that trapped at least one woman on her balcony, officials said.
"I heard this boom and the building shaked," North Park resident Juliano Queiroz described what happened moments before fire broke out around 6:15 p.m. at the Suncrest Villas apartment complex.
Thick gray smoke could be seen pouring from the top floor of the building located at 30th Street and Suncrest Drive.
"Come outside and you could see huge plumes of smoke,"*said witness Chris Ross.
Queiroz and other residents rushed to retrieve their personal belongings.*
"I just ran back to my place, got my passport, my documents, my car keys and left," he said.**
The entire third floor of the building sustained smoke damage, according to the San Diego Fire Department.
Fire investigators said the explosion was caused by a butane explosion during hash oil extraction.
A section of a refrigerator was launched from the unit affected onto the yard below the apartment unit.
A man and a woman were handcuffed and put into police cars.
The fire closed Suncrest Drive for hours.
Officials say at least six residents have asked the Red Cross for assistance.
