Ohio fire chief blames fatal nursing home fire on secret meth lab
Tuesday, March 6th, 2012 Liability PropertyA nursing home fire that killed one person and injured several others in Ohio was caused by "a clandestine methamphetamine laboratory" in one of the facility’s rooms, a fire official said Monday. Ashtabula, Ohio, Fire Department Chief Ron Pristera made the statement in a news release Monday, hours after a Sunday-night blaze hit the Park Haven Home in the town some 60 miles northeast of Cleveland. Pristera’s statement did not elaborate on what led to the conclusion that a meth lab was the cause of the fire, but photos distributed by the fire department showed scorched walls and a blackened table with remnants of an unidentified object on it.
