A "suspicious fire" at a house in Pokeno, south of Auckland, today has police investigating a possible P lab.
Fire northern communications shift commander Nicole Bernard said firefighters were called to a three bedroom house in a rural area in Helenslee Rd at 4pm.
The fire was "well involved" when crews arrived, she said. "The building almost collapsed."
Counties Manukau Police spokeswoman Kimberley Mathews said a clandestine laboratory team - used to investigate possible P labs - was at the scene.
"It cannot be ruled out that the house was previously used to manufacture drugs," she said.
