The basement had no fire damage.<\/p>\n<p>The marijuana-cultivating system was wired to the home&#8217;s electrical system in a way that bypassed the meter, said Michael Barnhardt, acting director of the task force. Such wiring would help a grower avoid the large electric bills that clue in investigators, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Copley said the cause of the fire was unknown, but it did not appear to be related to the marijuana operation or electrical wiring. It caused about $150,000 in damage.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>The home, bought for $229,000 less than one month ago, is owned by a Lan Le.
