MOORPARK, Calif. (KTLA) -- An explosion and fire that ripped through an upscale Moorpark home Thursday, leaving two people injured, led to the discovery of a hash oil lab inside, officials said.
Fire crews were called to the home along Shady Point Drive and North Cedarpine Lane around 1:24 a.m. after reports of a garage fire.
It was first suspected that the garage may have been housing a methamphetamine lab. Fire officials later determined it was a hash oil lab equipped with propane tanks.

Propane is apparently used to get the highest level of THC out of the oil.
One man suffered "very severe" and potentially life-threatening burns in the explosion, Chief Jim Arledge of the Ventura County Fire Department told KTLA.
A pregnant woman and a child were sleeping inside the home when the fire broke out.
They were able to escape without injury.
"It was a threat to the entire neighborhood," Arledgel told KTLA.
"I've seen different kind of drug labs and they're all dangerous, but this is new for us. This is a new concept for us, this hash oil," he said.
So far no arrests have been made.
