Upon quick inspection of the home the firefighter noticed no flames, but there was a large amount of heat coming out of the eaves and the firefighter noted there was an unusually large amount of frost on the windows.

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.
