One person was killed and six injured when a homemade meth lab exploded at a nursing home in Ohio this weekend, WKYC-TV reports."It's a first," Ashtabula Fire Chief Ron Pristera said of Sunday night's fire at Park Haven Nursing home. He described the meth operation as a "pop bottle, shake-and-bake lab."
Once the smoke cleared, and investigators found the burned out meth lab in one room, they were stunned, Cleveland's Fox8 TV reports.
"When we first started to get the indications, we all sort of looked at each other and went, 'You know, are we seeing what we think we're seeing?'" Pristera told Fox8.
The Park Haven nursing home has only a one-star rating out of five in the 2009-2011 ratings for more than 15,000 U.S. nursing homes from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. State records show Park haven was cited for 18 violations last year, including not providing adequate care, the Associated Press reports.
