Maybe this? "Fire crews rushed to Encanto Thursday to battle a fire that sparked at a home, following reports of an explosion.
San Diego Fire-Rescue officials say the fire began around 4:10 p.m. in the 1900 block of Paradise Street. A small explosion was reported right before the blaze began, police said.
Upon arrival, crews could see smoke stemming from the residence.
By 4:50 p.m., officials had knocked down the fire. Once the fire was extinguished, officials discovered a marijuana grow inside the home."

DEA sees rise in hash oil explosions in San Diego County
At least 3 significant explosions in past year



SAN DIEGO - Drug Enforcement Administration officials say they are seeing an increase in hash oil explosions in San Diego.

In the past 12 months, law enforcement has responded to three significant hash oil explosions, including one in January at the Heritage Inn that burned three people.

"Had it been early in the morning or later in the evening, we could have been talking about a number of people who were fatalities or a good deal more casualties associated with that explosion," said Patrick Kelly, acting assistant special agent in charge from the DEA's Narcotic Task Force.

Kelly said the significant explosions include the one at Heritage Inn near Sea World, as well as two others reported in Spring Valley.
The DEA also found at least six other hash oil extraction labs locally, but fortunately no explosions were reported
