LOGANSPORT, Ind. — Investigators believe a fire that destroyed a Logansport home Sunday afternoon was the result of an active meth lab inside.

At approximately 3:52 p.m., firefighters were dispatched to a home located in the 500 block of West Linden Avenue. When they arrived on the scene, the homeowner was spotted exiting the home. He was identified as John J. Rose, 65. Rose told firefighters there was no one else inside the home.

Firefighters entered the home but had to get out due to extreme heat. During the time they were inside the home, they claim to have found several items that were associated with manufacturing methamphetamine.
