SEATTLE (AP) -- Firefighters responding to an electrical fire at a south Seattle restaurant found hundreds of marijuana plants growing in the basement.
KOMO-TV reports that police say the growers had bypassed a power meter and added so much electrical load to the system for lights and a fan that it overheated and sparked the fire Monday.
Seattle City Light's Jeff Joy calls it a "massive, dangerous situation."
In all, investigators found more than 470 plants.
No customers were inside when the fire began.
The fire reportedly temporarily knocked out power to an entire block.
The investigation continues.

Idiot's......bypassing the meter.... and endangering the lives of there {unknowing} customers.....sinful and sad on so many levels.....

Don't think the restaurant's general liability insurance will pay for this kind of loss. Sounds like the owner is pretty much fucked.

two firefighters received electric shocks. the owners were vietnamese. they are busy and must like their weed. i had to re-wire the service wires to a house that was also formerly owned by vietnamese that was hot wired. half the house was growing and from what the neighbors said, not to discreet about it either. firefighters should be trained to pull the meter before they go into places nowadaze.

If you have to buy multiple seed packs to find that "keeper", you're getting ripped off. Every female in a pack of seeds should be a keeper! We've been led to believe that lots of variation in a cross is a good thing, because some vendors would rather you buy several packs of their gear, instead of them actually doing the selections to fix that nag champa or golden clit trait themselves. For hobby growers, pheno hunting is fun. But mono-croppers who grow to pay the bills prefer a consistent product that regularly delivers the desired trait package.
