Prospect Heights Grow House Goes Up In Smoke

Growing pot indoors can sometimes involve heat lamps in the thousand-watt range (the average room is capable of sustaining just one bulb that powerful), but whatever the configuration of his artisanal Brooklyn weed hobby (described by the FDNY as ‘substantial’), one of his extension cords sparked a blaze. He also decided it was a good idea to have some loose ammo around his apartment for some reason, and he’s ultimately being charged with criminal drug possession and intent to sell. Luckily the FDNY put out the fire in a snap and there were no injuries, but nearby residents did feel a strange need to head up to Amorina for a slice.
