(Oklahoma City-AP) -- Oklahoma City fire investigators have arrested a man for arson after a house fire injured two firefighters on Monday.

Dwayne Jimmy Courtney was arrested after being treated for burns on his hands.

Investigators say Courtney had a methamphetamine lab in his home and the chemicals used in making meth. A new law allows authorities to charge a person with first-degree arson if the materials to make meth are found in their home after a fire.

Fire Major Brian Stanaland says the two firefighters were injured after falling while fighting the fire. Neither injury is severe.
