South King Fire and Rescue firefighters responding to a mobile home fire on Saturday discovered a large marijuana grow operation at the home.

Federal Way police counted over 60 marijuana plants and several large lamps commonly used for indoor plant cultivation in the undamaged section of the residence at 27610 27th Ave. S.

In the damaged section of the mobile home, police also found multiple piles of soil on the floor with charred plant stems. Police believe these may have been additional marijuana plants growing in plastic pots that were consumed by flames, according to the police report.

Several neighbors told police they did not know the new residents of the mobile home, who had just moved in a few weeks ago. The landlord and owner of the mobile home provided police a copy of the rental agreement that identified the 46-year-old resident, who was not at home during the incident.

Firefighters contacted Puget Sound Energy to shut down an illegal power line tap. They informed police the fire appeared to have started as the result of either faulty wiring or overheated electrical equipment in the southeast section of the mobile home.

Police did not find any evidence of arson and no one was injured in the fire.

Detectives served a search warrant and removed the remaining plants. As of Monday morning, police still hadn’t contacted the suspect who lives at the mobile home, according to police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock.
