FBI Meth Burn Exposes Montana Animal Shelter to Smoke, Sparks Outrage
Workers at a Montana animal shelter were hospitalized after a drug burn conducted by the FBI released methamphetamine smoke into the building. The smoke was the result of a negative pressure issue, preventing proper ventilation during the incineration of two pounds of seized methamphetamine. Fourteen shelter staff members evacuated and sought medical treatment for symptoms including headaches and dizziness, while the shelter’s animals were relocated. The facility remains closed pending contamination testing, and officials are investigating the circumstances surrounding the burn, including the incinerator’s temperature.
