An investigation is also underway into a fire that destroyed a central Tulsa home.

Firefighters were called around 1 AM Tuesday to a home at 26th and Florence.

The home was vacant, but police say it's been the source of several arrests recently.

Officer Adam Ashley, Tulsa Police: "We've had a couple of meth labs that have been at this location the last month. Officers have gone in and arrested people so, right now what we're going on is probably the same people were trying to set up another lab and may have caught fire."

The fire quickly engulfed the home, and part of the roof caved in. One firefighter twisted a knee while fighting the blaze. A neighbor had to be evacuated for safety reasons.

Damage is estimated at $150,000. Investigators say it appears the fire was started intentionally.
