An explosion in an unattached Commerce Township garage containing a butane hash oil laboratory is suspected to be the cause of a fire that injured one person on Bass Lake Road on Saturday, according to a press release issued by the Oakland County Sheriff s Office on Monday.
A butane hash oil laboratory is used to extract THC from marijuana and results in a very high potency of THC used to make waxes, oils and honeys. Video provided by Megan Noland (Finance Subcommittee) and Oakland County Sheriff s office

The Sheriff s Office and the Commerce Township Fire Department responded to the garage fire, where they found a man, standing at the edge of the residence, with severe burns to his face, upper torso and lower arms.
In September, an explosion and fire destroyed another Commerce Township house on the 3000 block of Abutus Street.
In a similar manner, officials said the house was a marijuana growing operation, and highly-flammable tanks of butane gas exploded and caused the fire, the Free Press reports.
Fire officials said the explosion was so powerful that it blew large bits of shrapnel across the street, and officials rescued two men in their 20s from the fire.
