White Bear Lake, MN- A firefighter responding to an anonymous tip of a possible fire at suburban home, ended up breaking up a large marijuana-growing operation in the basement of an abandoned house.

When the homeowner arrived he told the officer he would make sure everything was OK. The firefighter was suspicious of the condition of the home and related the events and conditions to a police investigator. On Monday, February 11th, the authorities foiled a multi-million dollar marijuana-growing operation in the basement of the home.
