A house fire in British Columbia that left one person dead and two others in critical condition last week appears to be linked to an illegal drug extraction lab, says the RCMP.

Police received reports of an explosion and fire at a home in the 7300 block of 196 Street in Langley, B.C., at around 10:40 a.m. on Feb. 28, which led to street closures and the evacuation of residents in the surrounding area.
