The local fire department wants the federal government to disclose the locations of authorized medical marijuana growers after a police raid revealed a potentially-dangerous grow op.

"The fire service acted solely on the fire and life safety hazards that were present in the building and is not providing comment or opinion on the owner's authorization to produce marijuana," assistant fire chief Jim Jessop said of charges laid against the occupant of a Robinson Street home who had been approved by Health Canada to grow the drug.

Niagara Regional Police executed a search warrant at the older stucco and brick home near Main Street on June 20 and seized approximately 119 marijuana plants in various stages of growth and one kilogram of dried marijuana from the third floor of the building.

The drugs had a potential street value of $129,000.

While Health Canada does allow designated individuals to legally grow pot, the crop on Robinson Street far exceeded the allowable limit.

The Niagara Falls Fire Department is now calling on the feds to provide the locations of the grow ops, as the home had been altered in such a way that is posed a danger to occupants, including two young children, and emergency services personnel.
