Just got a text message that there are several fire trucks and a couple of ambulances there and that there is a burnt smell in the air. Anyone know what is going on down there?

I heard sirens earlier but don't see any pillar of smoke or anything.

Meth Labs in Tulsa: View a map that depicts where Tulsa Police have discovered meth labs since January 2008.



A man in his late 30s was critically injured in a fire in his apartment Tuesday afternoon.

Bill Ansiel suffered severe burns to his hands and arms after the fire just before 2 p.m., said Bill French, spokesman for the Tulsa Fire Department.

The fire was caused by a meth lab and investigators found chemicals inside the apartment in the 300 block of East 11th Street, French said.

Medics transported Ansiel to Hillcrest Medical Center in critical condition, French said.

Ansiel had soot around his mouth, which could indicate esophagus burn damage, French said.

He was in "severe respiratory distress," French said.
