The fire did not injure anyone, fire officials said.
ANTIOCH — A fire that burned through the roof destroyed a marijuana grow house Tuesday night, fire officials said.
Crews from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District responded to the 5300 block of Navajo Way about 9:50 p.m. and arrived to see the flames above the roof, spokesperson Capt. Chris Toler said. By that time, the house was destroyed.“There were a lot of modifications done to the actual interior of the home to facilitate it being a grow house,” he said. “No residents there. No injuries. And there were a lot of signs before we went in that the home was being used that way.
Antioch police were expected to investigate the background behind the grow house and who may have been operating it. According to Toler, the house had bars on the windows, which were boxed in by plywood. He said those safety hazards, as well as the advanced stage of the fire caused crews to fight the fire from the outside.
