Earlier this afternoon in Burnley, a startling incident occurred when a suspected drug lab exploded next to a children's playground. The explosion caused significant damage to a house on Brunswick Street in Lancashire, with the downstairs windows being shattered. The incident happened at around 1:44pm, leaving many residents in shock.
Amidst the chaos, one man was able to be rescued from the damaged building. However, he was not able to escape arrest as he was suspected of producing a controlled drug and causing damage to the dwelling. According to a police spokesperson, the man is currently in custody.
A statement released by the police assured the public that there is no ongoing risk and that the situation is under control. The man who was rescued from the house was treated for minor burns at the scene. However, investigations are still ongoing as another person with suspected minor burn injuries had left the scene before the authorities arrived. As a precaution, a few residents were evacuated from the area.
The house, which sits on the edge of a grassy area, is surrounded by a basketball court and a children's playground. The peaceful atmosphere was disrupted by the loud explosion, causing concern for the safety of the children.
The Lancashire Fire & Rescue Service responded promptly to the incident, with two fire engines from Burnley and the Urban and Search and Rescue Team from Bamber Bridge and Chorley being called to the scene. Firefighters had to use breathing apparatus and a hose reel to control the situation. One person was successfully rescued from the property.
A joint investigation by the police and fire department is currently underway to determine the cause of the explosion. The authorities are working tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.
