Manufacturing methamphetamine and your neighbor's safety

QUESTION: If I’m not cooking meth why should I care that my neighbor is?

 ANSWER: Simply put because the explosion and fire he/she causes can injure or kill you.

On January 15, 2010 I posted Is Your Neighbor's Cooking Meth a Danger to You?.

That day I showed a few video clips of the explosive potential of cooking methamphetamine. Pretty graphic stuff if you ask me. Well low and behold here in Iowa a few days later is a story written by MANDI LAMB of the Newton Daily News about a garage fire and the police arrested the man inside that was burned on suspicion of cooking methamphetamine.

"Following an investigation by the Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Drug Task Force, 29-year-old T. B. G. was charged with conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine, a class B felony, and three counts of possession of precursors (ethyl ether, ephedrine and lithium) for manufacturing methamphetamine, all class D felonies.

According to a news release issued by the drug task force, authorities responded to a report of a garage fire at 8:16 p.m. on Jan. 2 at 1800 W. Fourth St. N. #3. The fire was extinguished, with minimal damage done to the garage, and drug task force members were called to the scene after items associated with meth manufacturing were found."

And this is the point I’m trying to make. Minding your own business may not be in your best interest. What if this was going on in an apartment building where you lived? Is it in your best interest to ignore it or to call authorities and get it stopped?

You be the judge, I rest my case.

Know what to look for and when to suspect its being cooked in your hood.
