KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- One person is dead after a fire burned a mobile home in Clinton Tuesday night that had been quarantined since March following the discovery of a meth lab, officials say. No one was supposed to be inside the house.

Firefighters say the fire may have been caused by lightening.

The Anderson County Sheriff's Office says a body believed to be that John Auston Lowe, 54, was found in the burned home.

Investigators say family members called 911 just before 8:30 p.m. to report the fire on Farmer's Hollow Road.

It took crews about an hour to control the fire while some worked for several more hours putting out hot spots.

You can bust every meth lab and meth user you can come up with and you will not even START to put a dent in the huge demand for meth. Meth addicts LOVE their meth and if you shut down the local labs then the Mexican mafia will simply increase the amount of meth it exports into the USA to meet the new demand. Methamphetamine should be legal. Mexico just legalized possession of small amounts of drugs. Switzerland reaffirmed its legal heroin system. Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001. Legalizing meth would kill meth labs, meth houses and the meth mafia overnight. A group of 10,000 very serious policemen, prosecutors, attorneys and citizens have formed a group to legalize ALL drugs, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://leap.cc ) They see what happened when we legalized alcohol in 1932 as a good example of how drug legalization would work. They're sick of chasing drug users and sending innocent people to prison for decades . boboberg@nyc.rr.com
