EDINBURG — Federal authorities were trying to find out today who stored 2,000 pounds of marijuana in a warehouse that caught fire.
It took more than 35 firefighters about half an hour to extinguish Wednesday's blaze with 1,000 gallons of water and five gallons of chemical suppressant, Edinburg Fire Chief Shawn Snider said.
Snider said the firefighters were exposed to so much marijuana smoke they would not be able to pass a drug test, despite the air packs they wore to prevent them from inhaling toxic or hazardous fumes.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were called in to investigate the origin of the drugs, and the Hidalgo County fire marshal was investigating whether arson might have been the cause.

...152 bongs, and several boxes of rolling papers.
“they would not be able to pass a drug test”
Wrong. It doesnt work that way.
uh-huh... of course they were wearing their respirators the entire time...
They better stock up on Doritos and Cheez Whiz - they’re going to need it!
I assume they were instantly turned into hippie sex maniacs bent on turning the country to God-less communism.
“Edinburg firefighters inhale too much pot smoke during blaze”
How do they know it was too much? Was it...
...when they used the fire hose for a skip rope?
...the new meaning of “rolling up” on the scene?
...the peals of laughter everytime someone said, “Make an ash of myself”?
...or was it the renamed “look and had ‘er” team?
Why weren’t IFSTA standards followed and all firefighters wearing SCBA’s?
