Firemen weren't welcome at this fire

SAN LEON, Texas (AP) - January 19, 2011

Fire officials in San Leon, Texas, say they showed up at a burning house, only to find some people trying to wave them away.

Assistant Fire Chief Scott Lyons says a man with a garden hose told them, "Man, we got it."

When firefighters got inside, they found out why.

Authorities say it was a grow house, with more than 100 pot plants.

The Galveston County Daily News reports deputies have a suspect in custody.
