Officials: Explosion appears to be drug-related

Authorities are investigating an explosion at a Pacific Beach apartment building.

One person was taken to the UCSD Medical Center with serious burns and life threatening injuries, according to fire officials.

Officials said the explosion appears to be drug-related, possibly the result of a growing operation.

Fire and Hazmat crews both responded.
