Royal says the explosion had shifted the home from its foundation, and it was too dangerous to go inside the residence. The homeowners likely didn’t know what what going on, but apparently the honey oil was being manufactured in the basement…

But Lugo wasn’t. The search for him continues. Royal says Lugo was likely injured in the explosion. There were three people in the home at the time, including a four year-old child. Royal says they were treated for minor injuries at Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital, and then released.
