On Saturday, the Pittsburg Police uncovered an illegal grow house in the City of Pittsburg
According to Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Bob Atlas, he confirmed the incident occurred on Kapalua Bay Circle and that they were assisting the Pittsburg Police Department.
“This is a grow house with a hazardous material,” said Atlas “Inside, we have found some fertilizer that has been utilized as part of the process here, that is deemed hazardous material that needs to be removed.”
This prompted a response from the Contra Costa County Hazmat, Contra Costa County Fire and AMR.
