Dufferin OPP responded to a call of an explosion and fire at a house on Sideroad 24. They have since determined that drugs were being manufactured inside the premises, which may have led to the blaze.

They are now facing drug possession charges and charges of recklessly causing damage by fire. The Guelph man is also facing a charge of obstructing police.
