Emergency crews responded to a blaze on Hazel Road in Salisbury East around 2:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Firefighters quickly managed to control the fire, which resulted in minor damage to the home’s kitchen area.

The incident led to the evacuation of three residents, including a 53-year-old man who was hospitalized with burns on his legs that are not life-threatening.

During the subsequent investigation, authorities reportedly discovered equipment and substances indicative of drug production in the kitchen.

Law enforcement officials arrested a 25-year-old man, a 62-year-old woman, and the 53-year-old man. They are anticipated to face charges related to drug manufacturing later today.

The woman is expected to be further charged with trafficking after police searched her and allegedly found about 30 grams of meth.
