Two suspects were hospitalized and a suspected "honey oil" marijuana extraction laboratory was discovered after a fire early Sunday morning at a motel in South El Monte, authorities said.
Sheriff's deputies and firefighters responded about 12:37 a.m. to a Motel 6 in the 1200 block of Durfee Avenue, where several rooms were ablaze, according to a news release.
After L.A. County Fire Department personnel made quick work of the fire, Arson Explosives Detail detectives recovered evidence and identified the possible marijuana lab.
"Police-related equipment" was also found at the scene, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
The two detained suspects sustained burn injuries and were transported to a hospital. A dog, also burned in the incident, was taken to a veterinarian hospital.
